Probable Mondor's disease for several years.

Hi, I originally went to the urologist when I was 19 years old after I woke up one day with a hard chord...

Posted by vikvaughn

Hi,
I originally went to the urologist when I was 19 years old after I woke up one day with a hard chord from the top left base of the penis that went up to almost the head and curled to the side with a very slight bump, it isn't always palpable when flaccid; when erect and semi-erect, it is noticeable and pulsates with my heartbeat.
it is somewhat painful when getting erect, and afterwards generally is somewhat sore and inflamed, not always though. It is also somewhat slightly painful to the touch when flaccid.
The doctor brushed off my concerns, and when he palated it in the flaccid state it hurt, I said so, and his statement was "it shouldn't".
And that was that.
I lived with it for a couple years and went to another urologist, he also brushed off my concerns.
I figured they may be right and this is all normal, I also suffered with Chronic Pelvic pain syndrome, and figured maybe the pain was caused by muscles. which doesn't explain the chord though.
About 6 months ago I finally found info on Mondors disease.

I can't stand this anymore and cannot believe I lived with this all this time. I went to my GP and she said it would be 4-8 months to see a urologist, FOR penis PAIN (thats canadian health care for you!!!)
So I will go see an american urologist this time and demand an ultrasound, and pay out of pocket. My idea was to get a thrombectomy, if possible???

My question:
I just feel like the biggest idiot in the world to beleive these doctors, and soldiered on so recklessly. I'm sure in that timeframe I have inflamed that vein (sex/ masturbation) and in essence my penis at least a thousand times....
The literature says Mondor's is a benign condition, but I imagine they mean when it goes away on it's own after a few weeks/months, mine never went away, I'm now almost 27.
and even though when it's not in its inflamed state, it feels quite normal, I'm scared of developing peyronies or something down the line.
Any comments are greatly appreciated,
Thank you.View Thread

Posted by havnaroughone

I Have a fair amount of issues here so my post in long in length...About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Chlamydia after I went to the doctors for an arthritis type swelling and pain in my foot. this is only where the problem began. I was treated with antibiotics and I thought everything was fine. About a year later I started having weak flow urinating and sometimes some discomfort in the inside of my penis. along with that it seems to have lost all inflation(for lack of a better word) in the bottom of my penis...it has not gotten better.
also around this time i began having some itching issues, i thought at first it was because i was living in a warm climate but thats not the case. A little while later I noticed a bump on my scrotum. I went to my primary care doctor and was examined. I dont know if it was because it was flesh colored or becasue it didnt seem as bad that day but the dr didnt notice anything. The doctors keep saying its nothing serious but really they have no clue because thats what they said before i was diagnosed with chylmidia or GERD.
just to be safe I had another STD test and it was clear... after a few months more appeared small mostly flesh colored and a few black ones..and a few tiny ones on the tip of my penis. After doing some research it seemed obvious I had HPV even though I have not been sexually active. I have not seeked treatment because there really isnt anythign they can do and obviously wont ever be sexually active again. I was asymptomatic for a long and i infected my girlfriend without my knowledge,obviously i felt awful and we broke up not long after. I only backtrack with that to show how far its effecting my life. along with this I have had unexplained gastro issues for 3 years and seen many a specialist who tells me its only GERD.I get terrible nausea and have such terrible epiagastric pain i have to go to the ER. This has absolutely ruined my life. I feel guilt shame hopelessness and loneliness but worse I have this terrible feeling something is still wrong and its gettign worse with out treatment. Im not worried about the sexual aspects as im fairly certain its hpv so i will be alone for the rest of my life. i just really dont want it to develope into something worse both my stomach and my penis. I have poor circulation so I thought that might be the problem with the flatness but its very noticable and i think it could be more serious.I am 26 years old and have only had 4 partners. I no longer have insurance and im in debt from doctors who have given me no answers. Whenever I see any doctor i tell them all of this and they look at me dumbfounded, though i have not seen a urologist.
.thanks for the patience, Now for my questions:

Is my penis becoming flat from masturbation( i do not do it often as this has scarred me mentally and i am rarely aroused)?

Why has my flow decreased so much?

is there a treatment for a flattened penis, preferrably non surgical?

My insurance ran out and now I am hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just from the gastro specialist as well as losing my girlfriend and being alone since, can stress be part of the issue?

what general advice can you give for someone who clearly doesnt know medicine but thinks something is very wrong?

does any of this indicate cancer? have a family history of prostate cancer

Id just like to know what i can do to be proactive so i dont continue to ruin whats left of my life any and all information would be greatly appreciated because im so lost!

thank youView Thread

Posted by boostede36

First off, i want to say i have searched EXTENSIVELY for the exact issue i have and have been flooded with similar yet not the same scenarios (cysts, peyronies, PPP's, plaque..etc..none of which fit my description).

Me:
27, 2 sexual partners in last 6 years,in long term relationship now, with little sex and too much masturbation
-very active and fit, no history of STDs

The symptoms:
-BB sized bump on right side of penis (about the size of a pepper ball). Halfway up the penis shaft when erect..NOT right below the head like others have.Nor is it near the base.
-Tends to be smaller when flaccid, grows with erection
-it can move slightly but not attached to outside of skin, it's underneath
-when pressed on does not reduce in size
-painless, colorless
-sometimes its not there and read below for how i can make it "disappear"

When did it happen
-after an extended period of vigorous masturbation. It gradually became more prominent and began to really notice it right around where my fingers end when im gripping my shaft.
-i've had it for over 6-8 months now
-saw my GP he said it was nothing to be concerned about & couldn't feel it at the time on my flaccid penis. He said we could ultrasound it but that would probably be inconclusive.

Now the kicker..
i have what appears to be almost a horizontal elevated area (under skin) right around where the bump shows up on the right side (coincidence,don't think so)..it appears to be almost like a hernia (i mean obviously i cant see it).but if i press the bump into the right spot around this area the bump goes away completely..almost like it goes into the "torn area". You can press on the bump in the wrong spot and it sticks around..i found you have to almost pull the skin tight toward the tip of the penis and then press on it with your thumb around the area and it will disappear into it. I would then masturbate and not even feel it, but it "slips" back out sometimes and comes back.
It is very difficult to get the bump to go away without an erection as finding that area is difficult.

Will this ever heal? I have not found anything on hernias on the penis shaft itself but i am almost certain that's what it is.Maybe you can tell me if you have heard of this before? It is not a PPP, nor does it seem like PD at all from the numerous articles i have read, it's not a cyst (no discoloring or pain), nor does it seem like plaque as it grows with erection. Would this require surgery to fix?

I have an unhealthy addiction to masterbaition i'll admit, and i'm positive that's what cause this. Sometimes i'll masturbate for hours, even if it's just squeezing my penis between my thumb and fingers, which is what i think caused this and another problem i just got.

The second problem i am fairly confident is sclerosing lymphangitis which you have described in numerous other posts. After a prolonged masturbation yesterday, i felt a hard guitar-string-like lymph vessel appear on the top side of my penis extending from the pubic base to the top of my foreskin (i am circumcised), a little to the right of center but not much (can you please tell me what this lymph vessel is called so i can refer to it when i get my appointment to a urologist?). After the masturbation, the corona area swelled..not excessively but i could tell by looking at it..and now i feel this guitar string like vessel is quite prominent even when penis is soft. I read that i should stop masturbation and sex, and hope it goes away. It's colorless(not blue or red or anything) and feels about the diameter of the third guitar string.

My penis is falling apart what the hell do i do? Can you answer some of the question i have in bold please? This has been weighing on me heavily and affecting my person life at home and work.

THANK YOU SO MUCHView Thread
