Penile Cancer – TheTole Treatment & Herbal Approach
Overview
Penile cancer is a rare malignancy that develops in the tissues of the penis, most commonly affecting the skin and underlying structures. It typically presents with changes such as persistent sores, growths, ulceration, discoloration, or abnormal discharge. In some cases, swelling of the penis or groin lymph nodes may occur as the disease progresses.
Because penile cancer may spread through the lymphatic system to nearby lymph nodes, early detection and supportive care are important for maintaining physical function and overall wellbeing. The condition can significantly affect urinary function, comfort, emotional health, and quality of life.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), penile cancer is often associated with Damp-Heat accumulation, Qi stagnation, Blood stasis, and toxin buildup, particularly affecting the Liver and Kidney systems and the lower burner.
