>>Correction, are now very visible.
>>>Hi again, sorry for all the recent messages. Another(!) problem with my penis is that I think I have Mondor's disease, so my the veins in my penis have somehow got clotted and are not very visible. This occured a few months ago and I have no clue why. I just wondered if any of you have experienced this, and is there a cure? I need to see a urologist about it I guess. I just wondered if there is any way I can get rid of them by myself, like certain drugs? Any info appreciated.
>I think you should have it checked by your family doctor or general practitioner. Blood support isn’t a game.

Mondor's disease will not make the veins "disappear". There are 3 types of veins on the penis.

Superficial
Intermediate
Deep

Mondor's disease typicall affects the Superficial veins of the penis. Torsion stress on the veins caused by rigorous masturbation or intercourse can cause the veins to undergo thrombosis. Which is a clot. There are treatments available for this. The thrombosed veins may appear to be bulging, and may be sensitive to touch. Even when the penis is not erect.

In the acute stages, sometimes locallized creams combined with clotting drugs are used.

In more advanced stages, or even acute stages which are not affected by treatment, a vein resection may be in order. This is a vein surgery and from the case studies I've reviewed appears quite adequate. That's what I know, see a Urologist to discuss the details. BTW, I'm not a doctor, but I spent ALOT of time reading about this.
