Can a thrombosed vein in your penis cause you to lose your penis?

Highly unlikely: They are superficial veins that usually just become inflamed. Need to watch carefully for infection and if in doubt seek urgent attention. Here is a study done on your condition in men of similar age. It was encouraging in that all settled with anti-inflammatories: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8899480 Consult a doctor for specific advice re your situation.

No: No. It will usually resolve in a few weeks. See a urologist if you suspect this for confirmation. Best wishes.
