Growth Top of Urethra (Male)

I recently found a growth, which looks to be just at the top (penis end) of my urethra. If you imagine the anatomy of a penis this growth is at the bottom of the "split" as I look down. At first it looked like a drip of urine, but I noticed it is actually a growth just on the inside of the "split" and only pokes out about a MM. As far as I can see, it is only approx 2mm in side and is not painful yet.

It is neither hard nor soft really but about the same texture as the rest of my "bellend" (excuse my language, but I do not know the proper names, dont do this often!). It looks as if extra tissue is growing as opposed to any "spot" like lump so therefore I refer to it as a growth.

I have a Dr's appointment but what should I expect?? I've been so worried all day to the point of feeling physically sick and I don't really feel that comfortable talking to anyone about it, so this is my only port of call for a bit of advice about what it might be and what to expect tomorrow.

Thanks in advance, I really hope someone can help and ease my anxieties!

This seems like quite a common problem but its not been answered anywhere else on the internet, I think a couple of people have had biopsies (I think thats the right term anyway!) with these sorts of growth, but I guess that is something which could only happen at the hospital not at a GPs office??

Re: Growth Top of Urethra (Male) Any professional advice please

You're worried. I understand. I also understand why no-one replied. It could be a thousand things and yes Cancer could be one of those. None of us are MD's so we wouldn't know the difference between cancer and many other things if we were looking at it. We are working from a very brief verbal description only. NO answer is valid in this case even from an MD! You do also need to know that there are a number of things it can be that I know about (probably more too) that are 1. not invasive and 2. easily treated. Don't worry it is probably something easy. BTW a number of STD's are now treated with one pill in the doctors office. Like I say it could be a thousand things. Relax.

Re: Growth Top of Urethra (Male)

Thanks, sorry I was inpatient, worry got the better of me I think,

I've been referred to a specialist by my GP, he thinks its a viral wart which is possibly an STI, but we'll see. The Doctor said there is a good chance they will be able to prescribe a cream for it so I'll see how that goes too...

Planning to try and drink a lot more water, as I seem to live on coffee! Which cant be hydrating enough. Don't want a urine infection on top of that.

Re: Growth Top of Urethra (Male)

it could be a viral wart. it could also be a harmless skin tag, and they are easily removed.
best of luck with it, whatever it is.
