Does swollen lump on penis indicate sign of syphilis?
Patient: I have a lump on my penis. It started suddenly and became very swollen within a day. The second day, the swelling had reduced a bit but my lymph glands in my groin/thigh area were tender. The third day, the tenderness had gone away, along with most of the swelling. Its been 6 days now. The bump is secreting puss. Not much. It seems to me that it is healing well. I would like to know if i should be worried that i have syphillus. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
