A MEDICAL evaluation of former President Joe Biden revealed that the politician has a health issue that needs ‘further evaluation.’

During the routine medical procedure of the 82-year-old, a doctor found a “small nodule” on the former president’s prostate.

“In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation,” a spokesperson for Biden told ABC News.

The small nodule refers to a firm lump or swelling in the body, which can be harmless or cancerous.

It’s too early to know exactly what the nodule is, but prostate issues for a man his age are extremely common.

During Biden’s last year as president, concerns began to swirl about his mental and physical health.

He left the office as the oldest serving US president to date.

Discussion about Biden’s reportedly deteriorating health forced him to abandon his re-election campaign for the 2024 presidential election.

Biden’s performance during the initial presidential debate, marked by his struggles to articulate arguments against Donald Trump, prompted calls from Democratic Party members for his replacement.

The former president was replaced by 60-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris in July.

His health issues began long before the 2024 election.

In February 2023, Biden underwent a procedure to remove a cancerous lesion from his chest. Prior to his presidency, he had several non-melanoma skin cancers excised using Mohs surgery.

“As expected, the biopsy confirmed that the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma,” White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor said at the time.

“All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. … No further treatment is required.

“Basal cell carcinoma lesions typically do not ‘spread’ or metastasize, unlike more severe skin cancers such as melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma,” he added.

“They do, however, have the potential to increase in size, resulting in a more significant issue as well as increased challenges for surgical removal.”

Despite his previous health challenges, the former president’s doctor declared Biden “fit to serve” in February 2024.
