Not sure if it is thrombosed vein.

Hi there,

I am slightly curious and a bit nervous as to whether or not I have a thrombosed vein or anything that is bad. Maybe I am being paranoid but I have literally convinced myself into thinking I have a problem and need to investigate. As most or all of us do have is a big long vein on the upperside of the penile shaft.. yep thats fine, I do too. We all have little veiny things that run through, yep that’s also fine as I do too. However I have noticed that my penis seems more veiny now near the upper shaft, and one string like vein is blue. its a skinny vein like a string but it is there. I have never noticed it really, whether it was there or not. Could this be just a good thing that my body is giving me more veins. I clamp by the way. Does anything there sound bad to you guys? I have not done PE in 2 days as I am not risking anything.

Thank you.

That’s all perfectly normal. I noticed a couple of really thin blue veins appear a little while after starting PE, many years ago. They are just the same now as they were then, there is nothing wrong with them.

Sorry but for some reason I am unable to reply to you FireGoat. Thanks for the reply. Can I ask you what signs to look out for for a throm vein? also just to the left hand side of the upper shaft it is kind of bulging but only as high a 0.5 milimetres. That is nothing to worry about is it? I am not going to do PE for a week anyway just to be safe.

Thrombosed veins are actually very rare. What most guys think are thrombosed veins are in fact congested lymphatic vessels, which feel like a string of pearls. A genuine thrombosed vein is usually painful, especially pressing over it, and there is often a lot of discolouration too.

Difficult to know what the ‘bulging’ is from your description, but it’s probably nothing at all.
