Hi folks, I was wondering whether anybody can offer some advice or has had a similar experience. I have developed a problem and have been doing some self diagnosis using online resources (benefit of being in lockdown). Anyway, I suspect I have a blood clot/thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein in my penis. This vein firstly begins through the gap/space by the pubic bone in upper groin and then runs along the top side of the shaft of the penis right along the mid line and then bends slightly right..
My vein has a raised button like swelling close to the base of the shaft, just above the pubic area. It feels like the vein in this area is hard and round like a small pea. The vein continues along the shaft like a hard raised coil, a little notchy/nodule like in places. The vein then disappears deeper into the penis as it approaches the glans. Sometimes there is a line of swelling, again on the upper side of the penis, running in a line across the penis just under the glans. This is more prevalent after sex.
I've had this issue for 1 and a half weeks now. It doesn't really cause much pain but is more worrying than anything. I've been trying some ibuprofen gel for 2 days. It's supposed to go away in around 3 to 4 weeks. Probably caused by bending erect penis in a downwards direction (not advisable). Any help? Thanks.
