Thrombosed vein?

I had to stop my clamping routine 2 or 3 weeks ago because at the moment I don`t have the time and nerves for a real routine.
So today I discovered a vein at the side of my shaft that is hard as a bone and it hurts a bit when touching it, it feels like a shoestring but I can`t see any discoloration or anything special.

BTW I only felt it today, could it be that it got worse because of my high caffeine, ginseng and ginkgo biloba intake?

True thrombosed veins are a rarity in PE from what westLA and I have learned yet the expression “thrombosed vein” gets tossed around here a lot (see the Injuries Forum).

If is it painful, leave it alone. Lay off PE of any kind for a few days and see what happens. If it is not inflamed, it is probably not thrombosed.

I have several of exactly what you describe on both sides of my shaft; they are most obvious when I have an erection, but are not painful. I was concerned because they are so hard to the touch (like stiff, white rubber bands which cannot be compressed) and asked my urologist to have a look. He said they are only veins which become very turgid when filled with blood. He knows that I pump and said at that time that I would likely develop more of them, which has been the case. However, my arteries (blue) have also expanded such that, overall, my penile vascularity is very healthy, according to him, the hard, white ones (veins) notwithstanding.

I (and the urologist I saw long ago) agree with Avocet that as long as there’s no pain or inflammation, it’s probably nothing to worry about. Some of the biggest veins in the center of my shaft feel fairly stiff, even when flaccid, but they have never caused any problems.

If you’re pretty sure you actually injured the vein, however, try taking some time off — it can’t hurt.

THX for your helpful replies because I was really worrying about it.
I won`t have any time for PE until February, but I`m going to keep an eye on that vein.

But when starting again a clamping routine, I think I will use less pressure, or else it could happen that I`ll get more of those hard veins.
BTW the vein is located on the left side and I have a slight curve to the left, so when I was clamping I always did some bending to the right. After all I always applied a lot more pressure to the left side. Perhaps I have to rethink my ideas of high pressure exercises or else I will end up with a dick full of veins hard as stone.

Wow, that shit sounds kinda scary.

It does

I think my vein got even harder and it seems like it changed its colour, it’s white now. I didn’t pe and I won’t be clamping for a long time. Could it be though that I have a thrombosed vein that died off?

Could be a thrombosed lymph gland, not a vein. Veins are blue. Lymph glands aren’t. I had one; lay off it long enough and it will go away. (mine was from clamping too)

Veins are lighter in color, not blue, but usually pale, more whitish. Reason is that arteries are bringing in newly oxygenated blood to the penis and their color is bluish because of the oxygen they carry in cells. Once the penis has depleted the oxygen, the outgoing blood (carried out through veins, back to the lungs and heart) has changed color.
