A member asked:

48 hours after i had oral sex suddenly i feel a thrombosed penile vein. precisely a thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein. how to cure it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aspirin: Usual treatment for superficial thrombophlebitis is Aspirin and an antibiotic if there is felt to be a component of infection. There may not be much to do at this point, and it may be self limited. See a urologist.
