A few months ago I noticed a lump formed on the side of my penis, and thought little of it. As time went on, during erections, the lump showed up again and got a bit noticeable. It only shows up now and then when my penis is erect and it has a whitish color to it. I looked some stuff up and came across blood clots forming in the penis. Reading more it saids to take aspirin to help and it should go away over time. Today I started to take aspirin and I hope that it does help, but I wanted to post here asking if it is something possibly serious. Going to a doctor kinds seems embarrassing but at this point I don't care anymore and I am worried. There is no pain, it just bothers me knowing it is there.
Another thing, would smoking cigarettes effect the aspirin helping this?
