Penile superficial thrombophlebitis

Hi

I think I got something called penile superficial thrombophlebitis. In my case it is a cord-like (guitar string) vain that goes from the base (top to right side) and on the middle of the staff it goes to along the right side and at the top (nearer the glans) and ends underneath the head. Additionally to the guitar string like feeling when you touch it; it feels almost like there’s tiny pearls/beads inside. There’s no discoloration, edema, erection problem or pain. Except that it is somehow tender/light pain at the base especially when I press finger against it.

I’m not sure what cause it, I discovered it last Sunday in the morning, on Saturday I remember to do a lot of clamping even for 30 min and in the evening I had sex for at least 2 h.

Have any of you experienced something like this?
Did it go away by it self?
Dis you go to a physician?

Sounds like a thrombosed vein. Give it rest. Regular heating and light massage should help. It can take a long time to clear up so be patient.

In the future, shorten your clamping sets. You’ll be alright.
Right now, read this: Thrombosed Veins

If it feels like a string of pearls it is a lymph vessel, not a vein. Good thread here: Thombosed Vein vs Clogged Lymph Vessels

Serenity is spot on with the advice.

Aha, my bad. Thank you for the correction.

Because the advice is the same for both, many people only thought in terms of thromboses of veins for years and the idea of damage to lymphatic vessels didn’t get many posts. I’m sure what most people think of as thromboses on all PE sites are mostly cases of lymph vessels damage. The string of pearls feeling is what confirms it though.

Blood vessel damage usually shows up as bruising or blood blisters under the surface.

Thank you firegoat

I have tried to read the link Thombosed Vein vs Clogged Lymph Vessels.
And tried some of the advice stated there like massage/squeeze/press the lymphocele to empty only with no effect at all, I doesn’t seem to me that the “beads” along the cord are filled with anything liquid.

PS: maybe it’s that worm-thing from the series The Strain.

The ‘beads’ do feel very firm. You just have to go at it gently; too much pressure will cause soreness. And it can take from days to weeks if you have had the problem for more than a couple of hours. Don’t expect miracles. And make sure you are starting as deep into the fat pad as you can trace the vessel, if it starts at the base of your penis.

Good luck.

Yes the are very firm and even hard to be that kind of tissue. The beads are very regular in distance between each other and so to say the same size but the bead at the base of my penis (nearest the fat pad) is larger than the one further to the top (at least it feels that way). The vain/cord is near the surface of my skin but it is very ‘slippery’ and makes the massaging/squeezing difficult.

2 hour sex sounds nice.

Yep. That’s just how they are when I get them.

So you had them more than once.
I read form your previous posts that if you start massaging the beads as early as possible they will disappear quicker..
Well I had them for 4days.when will they disappear?
What is the longest you had them for?
Should I stop with PE and sex? ( Even just stretching exercises and shorter intercourses)

And thank you for sharing your info on this matter.

Try not to worry about it, I,ve had this on a number of occassions and it’s always cleared up.
Can last anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks.
Would lay of PE till it’s gone though.

I get them every time I put a ‘cock only’ cock ring on and leave it on too long, or very occasionally if I clamp too long.

At the end of every PE session I do, I give my penis a quick massage, which also serves to check for any blocked or congested lymph vessels so I can sort them out immediately. Sometimes even catching them immediately they take a few sessions of 10 minute massages over several hours to get rid of.

The longest I’ve had them for was when I stupidly tried some over-night mild constriction and woke up with them; they took about a week and a half to get rid of.

I would totally avoid any ‘proper’ PE. Very gentle stretching may be OK for you; it is for me. Sex should never be interrupted unless it’s painful! :)

An update:
It is a all whole lot better, especially since the middle of last week. So it took approximately 2 week. The change is that ‘the lymph vessel’ that felt like a “guitar string with the beads” got softer and lies deeper in the tissue, less of those small bead too, only palpable when its hard. But not as near as it was before (sensitive and easily irritable). What I did was nothing except from not doing any PE (some stretching thou) and not using any cock-rings.

If you have this guitar-string on your staff it will go away by it self as long as you rest (it).

Thanks for the update. That’s how we all learn - when people tell us what worked for them.
