Deep Vein Thrombosis question

Hello everyone,

I was listening to NPR the other day and they were doing a program on Deep Vein Thrombosis awareness. Basically, it got me wondering if certain forms of PE, things like ADS or clamping could cause
Actual Deep Vein Thrombosis. Correct me if I am wrong, but DVT, the clots that can move to your lung or heart are different from the visible thrombosed veins that people sometimes get as a result
Of over-PEing right?

Basically, the reason I got concerned was that I use an ADS throughout the day. And according to what I’ve heard and read, DVT occurs in the legs from simply sitting or lying down for too long of a time.
If this is enough to cause it, surely using a device that ,however slightly, does impede blood flow to the penis could also pose a risk? No? This has gotten me sort of worried lately.

That is all,
Drew

A thrombosis within your cock is not at all common so don’t worry about that. Meanwhile, get off the couch and do some walking if you are a slug. DVTs are usually more a problem for older, inactive folks.

On a plane, get up and walk the aisles a bit every hour or so, whether the flight attendants like it or not.

Oh, I’m pretty active, so the only concern I had was about my dick. Just whether or not an ADS could cause it to happen. So basically, it would be very unlikely?

Unlikely and worth taking the risk.

You could die in a horrible car accident one day but that doesn’t mean you don’t drive.

It just means drive carefully.

So listen to your PI’s and PE away!
