The most common pathological type is squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, accounting for about 95% of penile carcinoma. Therefore, penile cancer has almost become synonymous with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, causing people to ignore the existence of other types of penile cancer. Symptoms of penile cancer? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of penile cancer

The early canceration is the thickening of glans or prepuce epithelium. Most of the patients showed papules, ulcers, warts or vegetable like plaques on the head of penis, followed by erosion, hard and irregular edges, conscious tingling or burning pain, purulent stench secretions. If phimosis or prepuce can't be turned up, you can touch it carefully through prepuce, with lump or nodule feeling and local tenderness. Early lesions can be seen after circumcision.

If the early lesions are not properly treated, the disease will gradually develop, the verrucous nodules will increase or the ulcer will expand and deepen, and the prepuce will be tense, thin and bright. The edge of the mass or ulcer may expose the outer opening of the foreskin. Then the cancer pierced the foreskin, appeared cauliflower like mass or cancerous ulcer, accompanied by odor secretion. If the advanced tumor continues to develop, it may invade the whole penis and urethra cavernous body, even the scrotum, scrotum contents and anterior pubic area. The distal part of the penis may be necrotic and shed due to poor blood supply, and the local pain is intolerable. After urinating * cavernous body, there was dysuria, obstruction, even urinary retention or urinary fistula.

Penis enlargement: This is the result of proliferation of tumor cells. The shape of the swelling is often uneven, sometimes very irregular. The side of the penis with the tumor is especially obvious because of the swelling and protruding. The initial manifestations were papules, verrucous new organisms or induration on the glans penis, especially along the coronal sulcus area. General treatment could not prevent its growth and expansion, until ulcers and ulcers continued to expand. This is one of the main manifestations of penile cancer.
