Can lipomas be removed from the shaft of the penis?

Question

I have lipomas on my penis shaft, a few years ago it was small but now it is growing and forming 1 from 2-3 I want to remove them, is there a tablet or capsule available to do so? If not, what are my options to remove them?

Thank you for sharing your question.  In most cases lipomas are best treated with direct excision of the mass to minimize the risk of recurrence.  Hope this helps.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
A lipoma represents a local overgrowth of fat cells developing in the soft tissues. It is a benign condition. Excision is warranted if the diagnosis is in doubt or if there is growth of the neoplasm. Submission of the surgical specimen to pathology may be required.
Removal is relatively simple in most instances, often performed under local anesthesia.
Seek evaluation from a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes...
