Penis pain! (But not STD) I visited my GP 2 months ago to check out a small dark red nodule on the tip of my glans penis in view of a recent ache in that region. I was supposedly referred to a dermitologist who diagnosed a slightly raised vein and immediately performed 'minor surgery' on me to remove...

H Denis, I think I have already visited the site although will have another look. I have visited a number of websites to try and understand it all but it does not seem that straightforward. Regards, Keify

Thanks Ron.

I now finally have a referral to a urologist at another hospital (I think they just wanted to be shot of me) but it has taken over 3 months to achieve (appointment next month) and another month (still waiting) for referral to a pain specialist. In the meantime pain killers are not helping, although I sometimes (without pain killers) feel a little better. But I'm still not clear whether (as told me by the existing urologist) prostatitis cannot be detected without a biopsy, which he said in any event may not help and could make matters worse, so I have not opted for it. I don't suppose alpha-blockers (or other treatments) will be prescribed unless and until prostatitis is actually diagnosed.

Cheers, Keify
