Описание: Penile Carcinoma | Dr. Chandra Sekhar Patro | Risk Factors, Symptoms & Treatment

Penile Carcinoma is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the penis. The first noticeable symptom is typically a lump, mass, or ulcer on the penis, which may appear as a small bump or a larger, infected sore. Men who are uncircumcised are at a higher risk of developing penile cancer due to conditions like phimosis (a condition where the foreskin cannot be pulled back). Early detection and timely treatment are crucial for better outcomes.

Dr. Chandra Sekhar Patro, Consultant Urologist at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Jessore Road, Kolkata, explains the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for penile carcinoma.
