Q: a rope-like swelling below the head of my penis. it is not painful. what is this. i'm worried?

: Hard to tell from your question. If it is on the shaft of the penis before the head it is probably a thrombosed vein and will resolve in a few weeks. If it is elsewhere please see a Urologist for it is difficult to diagnose without Exam.
