I recently noticed a lump about the size of a bee under the skin on the shaft of my penis. It's not painful at all, even when I press on it, but I'm a bit worried. Could this be something serious?

View allI've noticed that a year ago, my right kidney was measured at 10cm during an abdominal ultrasound. I recently had another scan done at a different diagnostic center, and they measured my right kidney at 9.1cm. Should I be worried about this change in size, even though everything else seems normal with no issues reported? What do you think?
Phimosis can be uncomfortable and affect your quality of life. While surgery is often recommended, there are some non-surgical methods you can try to help manage your symptoms: *Non-Surgical Methods* 1. *Stretching exercises*: Gently stretch your foreskin over a period of time to help loosen it. You can try using a lubricant to reduce friction. 2. *Topical creams*: Apply topical creams or ointments containing steroids, such as betamethasone, to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. 3. *Bath therapy*: Soak in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week, to help relax the foreskin and make it more pliable. 4. *Manual manipulation*: Gently manipulate your foreskin under the guidance of a healthcare professional to help loosen it. *Precautions* 1. *Avoid forceful retraction*: Don't force your foreskin to retract, as this can cause injury, bleeding, or scarring. 2. *Monitor for infection*: Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or discharge. 3. *Consult a doctor*: If you experience any severe symptoms or if your symptoms worsen, consult a doctor for guidance. *When to Consider Surgery* 1. *Severe symptoms*: If you experience severe pain, difficulty urinating, or recurrent infections. 2. *Failed non-surgical methods*: If you've tried non-surgical methods without success. 3. *Complications*: If you develop complications, such as paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), seek immediate medical attention.
