Seems like lots of questions arising over sensitive areas over the last couple of weeks. here’s another. I noticed a swollen area in the right perineum. No pain, and really no discomfort on the saddle at all. I would think this swollen area might be caused by the saddle, but like I said, no disc…

I read that thread in detail, but I don’t have any nerve pain or discomfort at all. It sounded like what they were describing was quite painful so It didn’t seem like the same.

I’ve had the exact same thing for the last year and a half-ish. Hasn’t gotten worse or better so I haven’t changed anything. Probably not the best advice, but it doesn’t hurt or get bigger based on my training volume.

I had a cyst that was painful and uncomfortable after not really bothering me for a while. It was resolved very quickly with a cortisone shot. Maybe you’re in the beginning stages of the same issue. :man_shrugging:

my next appointment will be with infectious diseases to find out if it’s something that needs to be treated with antibiotics. I’m sort of hoping this is the case because I’m not supremely confident that rest will take care of it, but the CT scan showed no abscess or anything like that, so it’s doub…

It often LOOKS like it should be painful or a problem, but it seems to just be general inflammation like your urologist said. Even with a optimal saddle and position, you still get subjected to a lot of pressure and impacts t…

I had something similar, swollen lump on the right hand side of my perineum. However it wasn’t excessively painful, though I am always paranoid of anything that is out of the normal in that general region. At first I thought it could be an ingrown hair, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. As far as…

Lipoma, maybe? I have a few of those.

2 week update on this. I’ve been “technically” off the bike for 2 weeks now. I’ve been doing a bit indoors, but only standing work, until recently I got a noseless saddle that has nothing going between my legs. The swelling seems reduced. Not gone, but reduced. The fact that is has reduced seem…

Quick update on this for those curious. I completed my 6 week hiatus where I pretty much cut my biking in half and the biking I did was standing up and not aggravating the issue. What I saw was that the swelling reduced, but not completely. Not sure if 6 weeks was enough. I went back to the Urol…
