Question
The patient is a 21-year-old male who has discovered a hard lump on the upper part of his penis postoperatively and is worried it may affect the length of his erection.
Answer
Medical professionals state that the appearance of a hard lump postoperatively is a normal occurrence and does not affect penile function. Regional contraction may cause the penis to appear slightly shorter, but this is a normal condition and there is no need to be overly concerned.
