Question 8

can calcification of the vein occur in the penis shaft?

Accepted Answer

Possible but rare...: Venous calcification is located at its valve and known as phlebollith, which is commonly seen in the pelvic veins. Theoretically, it may occur in penile veins but very rare with no clinical significance. At this time, is there anything bothering you? Yet, without a direct feel and look at, it is hard to draw a conclusion on what it may be. More? Seek evaluation and counseling. Best wish....

Question 9

4 months ago i vigorously masturbated for an hour and caused upper penis shaft swelling. subsided and now have many new penis veins.is this a concern?

Accepted Answer

No concern: The prolonged masturbation was an overuse injury and trauma to the penis leading to  inflammation, redness, and swelling and, as a result, an apparent venous congestion and visible prominence of veins. These may gradually regress with time depending on degree/frequency of masturbation going forward. Regardless, the presence of these prominent veins do not pose any threat to your health.

what is under skin on penis shaft not visible can only be felt, about 2'' long horizontal bulging vein? it is stationary and only moves if erection.

Accepted Answer

Thrombosed vein...?: What you described may suggest a thrombosed vein if there is no local indentation or harness. Does it hurt you at erection?

For the time being, just watch and see. But in doubt, see a urologist for better clarification.
