At 33, why am I having swollen veins on my penis shaft?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a healthy 33-year-old male. I have sex regularly and masturbate regularly. Over the years, I dabbled in penis enlargement exercises. I quit doing them a while back because I felt it was causing damage to the penis. Recently, I used a cock ring, but for no more than ten minutes. Now, I am noticing swollen veins on my penis shaft. I believe it could be thrombosis or Mondor's disease. I have an appointment scheduled with my general practitioner, but would appreciate any feedback. I can still get erections, but they do not feel as full. Also, I have to manually stimulate to get erections. Sometimes, I feel a dull ache in the bottom part of my shaft.

Kindly guide.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the images sent by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If there is pain in the veins, especially when you touch them, or any signs of inflammation, then it is a thrombophlebitis of the veins. In your case, it could be thrombophlebitis, but it is very minimal and nothing to worry about. It is self-limiting. Avoid sex and masturbation for a few days. You can apply Thrombophob ointment (a combination of Heparin and Benzyl Nicotinate) locally to reduce thrombophlebitis. Regarding erection problems, it is just because you are stressed about the problem with your penis. So, nothing to worry about an erection. Do not worry. Everything will be alright. Let your GP have a look and examine you.

I hope this information helps you.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
