Penile Cancer:
Penile cancer is rare in the United States and Europe. it is more commonly found in southeast Asia, India, and parts of Africa. Penile cancer affects about 1500 men each year in the United States, and about 600 in the UK.
Symptoms of penile cancer are most commonly noticed in the form of a sore, lesion, or growth on or within the penis. Other symptoms of penile cancer include bleeding or discharge from the penis.
On the average, men wait about a year after experiencing symptoms to go to the doctor to get the problem checked out when it comes to penile problems. Do not do this if you are experiencing any of these symptoms! The earlier penile cancer is detected, the more treatable it is! Not to mention, the earlier it is detected, the lesser chance a penectomy will have to be performed. A penectomy is the partial or full removal of the penis.

Abnormal Bleeding
Unusual Heavy Discharge
