dorsal penile vein thrombosis

Written by Lorenzo at 17 May 2004 17:14:11:

After a sexual encounter I noticed a small bump on the middle of the shaft which my family doctor have diagnosed (with doppler examination) as a thrombosed vein. The doctors I saw told me to wait 20/30 days without sexual encounters and to put on it "essaven gel" (with - heparin 10.000 UI) 3/4 times a day.I've read about this disease on internet - penile Mondor's disease - aspirin could help so I've begun to take it (one a day + essaven gel).After ten days with gel and 4 days with aspirin I've no result and cannot believe
it is safe to keep taking aspirin for a long time....on the contrary the vein near the clot seems to get narrower.I'm very frightened about possible troubles!
Please help me to make clearness, thanks.
