Hello everyone,
As i did not find much online about my current issue, and i’m also a bit frustrated from the doctors comments i decided to write on here.
In December i’ve been diagnosed with testicular cancer, and exactly 8days ago i had a radical orchiectomy done to remove my left testicle. The scar and prosthesis seems to be very good, no signs of infections and settling down. However, since a few days i have noticed to have an enlarged and hard vein on my penis that gets more painful when i get an erection.
I saw the doctor for this and he insisted that was a cyst (not related to the surgery) and not a vein getting harder, because obviously my penis was soft and he couldn’t see/touch the full vein which is definitely visible and painful when my penis is erected. End of the story the doctor said not to worry about although the paramedic team of 111 said that the issue sounds like a blood cot. And i’m worried that this could only create more damage.
Has anyone ever experienced the same after the surgery or anyone knows more about this?
Please do answer if you do.
Looking forward to read some news soon.
Fabian
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer and that after surgery you're getting pain.
I can't answer your question but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses. This could be because no one in this group has had this specific problem or that the person with the right experience hasn't seen it yet.
You could also post your question in ask a nurse and one of the specialist cancer nurses will respond within 2 working days.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'.
