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'm a bit worried about my left testicle because it hangs much lower than the right one and there's a burning sensation.

For the past few months, I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and having to push hard to empty my bladder. The flow is slow, not smooth, and sometimes splits into multiple streams.

A urethral stricture can cause these symptoms; options like dilation or endoscopic urethrotomy may be tried before surgery.
