I’ve had a a swollen lump on my meatus for as long as I can remember someone please give advice.

yeah i have

What did the urologist make of it? Did they suggest any treatment options?

they just said its nothing to worry about and said I don't need any treatment but there is clearly a swollen bit and its just not very nice to have.

Have you had the opinion of different Urologists .... ?

have had an opinion of 2 doctors and 1 urologist

Can you post a clear picture of what you have ..... ?

hi Wee Dugie i dont mean to be a bother but regarding this situation

"I have had a swollen lump on my meatus on the penis tip for a long time and ive been to the doctor 3x and also had a procedure where they check the urethera and they said everything is okay but my problem is that my meatus stings if you touch it and it also is just really anoying and i just want to get rid of it does anyone know what i can do".

the conversation we had do you know what the problem is and how this can be cured.

Okay, thanks for posting this on the Open Forum - I have also provided two detailed responses, and ask for further clarification on your other Forum Post at this web address on this site:

So purely on this post, yes, you have seen 3 medical professionals with regard to this issue. However, you still feel that this is not something you should be experiencing and it is annoying to you.

Unfortunately, you have got quite a lot going on on the head / glans and foreskin area of your penis - the way forward I would suggest is to work on the things I have detailed to you to put in place, and hopefully, by addressing these, this issue specific will diminish.

As I state in my other response, the issue you need to be careful about is whether you have taken risks if you have been sexually active - specifically, I have seen one report of Meatus issues related to HPV exposure - so this may be unlikely, but potentially possible if you have been sexually active.

from the photo attached can you see what the problem may be and is there any creams that could help this swollen meatus

If this was a recent swelling then yes creams could help. If this is just the way your meatus has developed then nothing will change that, surgery would in that case be seen as purely cosmetic if there is a natural cause.

Do you only experience discomfort when you touch this ....... ?

yeah only discomfort when i touch the inside of the meatus area

It is natural for the Meatus to be sensitive, it certainly does not seem infected in any way. So, you have seen the medical professionals about this - perhaps the only approach you can take is to leave it alone as far as possible - touching the inside of the meatus is not something that you would usually do, so there is no reason to do that ......

if i left it alone and clean do you think it will clear up itself.

I think so: I am on this Forum because I have experienced many different penile issues myself. What I do know is that issues like this do not clear overnight, you need to be patient and resilient and give it sufficient time to resolve itself without causing further irritation.

This process will take months rather than days or weeks ......

okay thanks

ive tried looking after my penis properly for the last two weeks i have kept any kind if soap away from my glands and also dried it after showers and cleaned it every day but i cant see any improvement i also still have the little rash and the swollen meatus. is this normal to see no changes yet and should i stay patient.

Okay, put it this way, the circumstances that have led to this happening for you have probably taken a great deal of time to have the impact they have, a relative few hours is not going to change anything.

I have been dealing with different penile issues all of my adult life and I know that when a different issue occurs that very often it will take 3 or 4 months just to start to 'feel' right again - more stubborn ones certainly in excess of 6 months +.

You have already seen different health professionals about this and if I have it right they did not recommend any form of treatment.

Unfortunately, often these issues can annoy us out of proportion to the level of issue that it is, we think 'this should not be like this, and why won't it go away' - things do not change easily, often if we focus our mind elsewhere a few months down the line we suddenly realise the issue that was causing us distress is no longer an issue or has actually healed .....
