Weird Cord-Like Thing

It’ll likely come back as a permanent or repetitive fixture to your cock. If no pain/inflammation, don’t worry about it.

Hey electron I also have exactly what you have now after going a bit too hard at uli’s and trying to work base girth. The pearl effect is due to the valves in the vein backing up with blood I think. It’s not that the vessel is under pressure either, rather it is the pressure as it has filled with blood that has clotted. It’s not nice at all and I will be away from actual PE until May at least. Good luck.

Nope, no pain or anything, I didn’t feel anything different at all. I didn’t even notice it this time until I looked down and saw it there. No pain, no swelling.

It’s just like “there’s this new vein that’s there” that wasn’t there before. It disappeared again the next day for the most part.

I know that this a old post. I just had this happen to me a few nights ago after doing different grips while I was jelqing.

I didn’t feel a pop, pain or numbness when I was jelqing. Took a shower and then notice that I had a pain on the right side of my shaft with what felt like a steel string running along the top/side. Where the shaft and the bone meet, it even goes into the fat pad a bit. It’s not painful if left alone. But if I touch it there is some pain at the base of my shaft. I’m guessing where the ligs are located.

Been putting heat on it and doing some stretches. The heat and stretching make it feel a bit better and seem to make the steel string thing go away little by little.

I really don’t know what it could be can someone with more knowledge about this stuff help me? It would be much appreciated.

If it hurts, it is likely a thrombosed vein. If it doesn’t hurt but feels like a hardened little cord running through there, it is likely a lymph vessel.

Thombosed Vein vs Clogged Lymph Vessels

Thank you raybbaby!

I’m bumping this thread because I think I have something very similar . —Not sure if it’s a lymph vessel but it certainly sounds similar. I’ve had it for a long time now, about 2-3 months now, and there never was any pain. I’ll read some more on this and post soon.

Put me down for one as well. Left side of shaft. It’s been 3-4 days now since it emerged or since I noticed, one morning. I am still technically in the beginner phase of PE (though I’ve been at it for a while, just inconsistent), jelqing and stretching, and definitely edging. So this caught me by surprise, and I can’t say I’m happy about it.

Thank heck I’m not the only one out here.. Took me a while to find a thread anywhere on the internet that takes the words out of my head on trying to describe this.

I really, really appreciate all of the input thus far. I made a thread on PE Gym as well ( https://www.peg ym.com/forums/b … ry-anatomy.html ) but more people here seem to know about what I’m experiencing (lucky them!). I’ll have to read up on everything in this thread later today and decide whether or not to continue PE so soon again, but either way -of course- keeping a close enough eye on it.

Mine really freaked me out, but I don’t even worry about them anymore. Warm water and massage will usually break up whatever those little “beads” are, and it will go back to normal. I get them from time to time now, but I just massage them after my workout and they go right away.

After some reading around on this thread and on threads linked out of here, I’m not sure I have exactly what seems to be most talked about.

Earlier in this thread, you referred to either lymph vessel issues or thrombosed veins, but all I seem to run into is talk of the "beaded" guitar string stuff, and I’ve seen pictures of what look like bigger "strings" versus what I’m talking about, in my case.

What I have is extremely thin, like a pin’s diameter, underneath the skin, not visible to the naked eye whatsoever unless you push down on it (much, much more so while erect), and even then it is hard to make out by the naked eye. I can fairly easily feel it to the touch though; it is on the left side of the shaft (almost all the way from the base to just underneath the left side of the glans), and I can practically twang it like a guitar string if I do a flaccid stretch. It’s as if the thing starts out of nowhere (at the bottom of the line it creates) and stops at the top out of nowhere. There is some very miniscule squiggly-ness shaped feeling to the top and bottom. None of it is painful, per se, but I think some tenderness has developed to it for how much I’ve tried examining it over the past 4-5 days, also aside from my conscious awareness to it, which can be a b*tch when trying to assess something objectively.

Does that sound like anything to you? I don’t do any pumping or anything remotely advanced (not even cock rings), just jelqing and stretching, and definitely edging.

This is the closest I’ve found in connection to my issue to date: Thin hard vein

But I want to be more sure about what’s going on, or probably going on.

Yesterday, for the first time since it appeared, I applied tons of direct heat via a rice sock, and did some moving of it around. Nothing seemed to change about it at all. Then, I did some light stretching, then half-assed some jelqing and edging in the shower.

Today, I’ve applied just as much direct heat, did slightly more intense stretching and for a longer time, then applied cold to it (for cool-down), then wrapped my penis in bandage tape in the elongated state. I plan to hit the shower for some low intensity jelqing and edging again.

After some experimentation, I’ve realized the “string” does get affected by erections or way more specifically: masturbation. The longer the session (I’ve only had 2 or 3 in the last week, and no real PE), the more apt for complication.

I’ve done reading around, and I think it’s lymphocele of the penis, or something to do with the lymphs. When fully aroused and self-stimulated, the top of the “string” (or wire), alongside the left side of the shaft (NOT near the glans), there appears slightly some kind of small lump or lumps, which is visible to the naked eye in the erect state, but the rest of the string stays the same in diameter and length.

Even though there can be discomfort (a sense of pressure) after I’ve stimulated myself too much (edging, for example, a biggie), I can’t imagine this is a thrombosed vein. I’ve certainly irritated something. Probably all my 1-hour edging mixed with jelqing screwed my member up.

I’m taking 500mg of Aspirin as of today, applied loads of heat just now, and light massage. Did a short timed amount of stretching as well, just because?

Kinda still in the wait-and-see phase.
