Hi guys,

I am 30yr old, and I had a vasectomy 8yrs ago.

I have a small lump (small pea) at the base of my penis, attached to the muscle (?). when soft i have to press quite deeply into the skin to feel it, and i think it is not as big then, and I can only notice a slight tenderness when i press.

When erect/partially erect it can be felt quite easily at the base of the penis, it can be pinched between 2 fingers, but is attached to that spot on the shaft and it is tender to pinch.

First noticed a few months ago, no pain unless I pinch it, my wife has not commented on it. I have not noticed it develop in size, I have had the occasional rougher sex bout where my penis has been bent somewhat.

Also of late I have a decreased interest in sex and my ability to maintain an erection has reduced, I attributed this to putting on weight and work/university demands, and it could be unrelated to the lump.

Should I be concerned?

Regards 

Jonathan
