A month ago, I woke up with a painful errection. After inspecting my penis, I noticed that I had a hard pea sized mass either in my urethra or surrounding it. I called a few local urologists. None of them would see me unless I had a referral. I didn’t have a primary care doctor, so that was gonna have to come first. The first appointment available was 4 weeks later. I just had my first appointment with primary care doctor and got a referral to a urologist. The PC doc didn’t seem to follow what I was trying to explain to him as to abnormal growth in tge head of my penis. I still have to wait another 5 days before getting to see the urologist. To say I’m concerned would be a vast understatement. I’ve been seriously on edge and the only understanding I have of what is happening with my body come from chat gpt. I keep trying to tell myself not to get ahead of it. Easier said than done. The growth or nodule, whatever you call it, hasn’t gotten any bigger. I guess that’s positive.And I don’t seem to have any inflammation of the lymph nodes, yet. I really hope I’m freaking out over nothing but I have a bad feeling about all this.
