Problems affecting the genital area are considered taboo among men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most men don\u2019t like talking about these problems, so they often believe other guys don\u2019t experience them. However, the more you learn about issues in the genital area, the easier it will be to overcome them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of these issues is penile mondor\u2019s disease. Scroll down to learn more about this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is penile mondor\u2019s disease?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease (PMD) is a rare, self-limiting, benign condition affecting superficial dorsal penile veins near pubic symphysis in sexually active men. The superficial dorsal vein is located near the skin\u2019s surface on top of a man\u2019s penis and extends lengthwise down the penis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In PMD, the affected vein develops superficial vein thrombosis or superficial thrombophlebitis, i.e., blood clots. The condition can also affect smaller tributary subcutaneous veins that branch off the above-mentioned vein in the dorsal aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease is a manifestation of mondor\u2019s disease, named after a French physician Henri Mondor. He was the first one to describe the condition in 1939.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, mondor\u2019s disease is a rare condition indicated by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins in the breast and anterior chest wall. The disease can also affect the abdominal wall, upper arm, and other parts of the body. Thrombophlebitis is defined as an inflammatory process that causes blood clotting and blocking one or more veins.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although rare, penile mondor\u2019 disease is an under-recognized condition too. For that reason, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK538282\/\">prevalence of PMD<\/a> could be higher than currently believed. For example, at this point, less than 400 cases of penile mondor disease were reported in the medical literature, but that number could be higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4349227\/\">PMD<\/a> have symptoms as the condition can be asymptomatic too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most patients, however, experience the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hardened vein, like a rope, at the dorsum of the penis<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Continuous or episodic throbbing and pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain with erection<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Erythema (skin rash) and edema (swelling) on the penile skin<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Distention (enlargement, dilation) on the site of penile thrombosis&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Irritative voiding symptoms such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/difficulty-urinating\/\">difficulty urinating<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients may only notice the hardening of the vein while other symptoms are absent. It is also worth mentioning symptoms of PMD may occur together with the formation of similar lesions on other areas such as the arm or chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Causes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact cause of penile mondor\u2019s disease remains unclear. The main cause of penile mondor\u2019s disease is mechanical <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/penile-injury\/\">penile trauma<\/a>. A vast majority of patients report increased sexual activity right before the formation of the lesion on their manhood. In most cases, the lesions occur within 24 to 48 hours after prolonged sexual intercourse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstinence from sex makes these lesions go away, but as a patient engages in sexual activities again, these lesions reappear. Most patients have a history of sexual abstinence due to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/std-symptoms-men\/\">sexually transmitted diseases<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and candida infections may also be associated with the development of PMD. However, the primary etiological cause of penile mondor\u2019s disease is trauma like <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/penile-fracture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">penile fracture <\/a>and rupture of tunica albuginea caused by rough and vigorous sexual intercourse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[bensnaturalhealthIinlineLeadGen id =&#8221;1&#8243; event=&#8221;Diet Plan eBook Download&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/testo-ebook.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Get Your FREE Low Testosterone Diet Plan&#8221; content=&#8221;##The ultimate testosterone boosting diet ##combined with exercise &amp; lifestyle advice ##Developed exclusively by our nutritionist&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Risk Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any man can develop penile mondor\u2019s disease, but most of them do not. Certain risk factors make you more likely to have PMD and venous stasis of a vein in the penis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These risk factors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Frequent and vigorous sexual intercourse<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trauma to the penis<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Local or distant infections&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>History of sexually transmitted diseases<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Penile candidiasis or thrush&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thrombophilia (condition wherein blood tends to form clots)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/inguinal-hernia-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inguinal hernia<\/a> repair<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Orchiopexy (surgery to remove an undescended testicle into the scrotum and fix it there permanently)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Varicocelectomy (surgery that removes swollen veins, called varicoceles, inside the scrotum)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use of intracavernous drugs (injection into the base of the penis to treat erectile dysfunction)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use of penile vacuum pumps<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Behcet\u2019s disease (a rare disorder characterized by inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bodybuilding exercises<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cancer affecting the pelvic area, e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/bladder-cancer-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bladder cancer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/prostate-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostate cancer<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pancreas cancer in metastatic stages<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Migratory phelibitides caused by paraneoplastic syndromes (rare disorders triggered by an abnormal response of the immune system to a cancerous tumor called neoplasm)&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Venous occlusion induced by filled bladder<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Intracavernous drugs abuse<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thrombosis tendency or excessive clotting<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, risk factors for PMD are numerous. More research is necessary to uncover all mechanisms of action linked to this disease and confirm the connection between these risk factors and PMD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that not every person with the abovementioned risk factors will develop penile mondor\u2019s disease. For that reason, it is theorized genetics also plays a role. Some genetic mutations can put you in a hypercoagulative state, i.e., make you prone to excessive blood clotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to see a doctor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men are generally reluctant to see the doctor for problems affecting their genital area. However, being proactive is the best way to manage certain conditions, improve sexual performance, or protect reproductive health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to schedule an appointment to see a doctor if you experience symptoms described above, especially pain with erection. Instead of waiting for it to go away on its own, you should see the doctor, who will carry out a physical exam to uncover the culprit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swelling of the penis and reddening of the skin are also signs something is wrong, and you should see the doctor. If you don\u2019t have these symptoms but do have a hardened vein on top of the penis, schedule an appointment to see your healthcare provider as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The disease can be diagnosed with a medical history and physical exam. During the physical exam, the doctor can spot the telltale signs of PMD, such as a hardened, rope-like vein. In some cases, the lesion can extend and go beyond the pubic bone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical history, on the other hand, enables the doctor to evaluate the presence of potential risk factors connected to this disease, including the history of sexually transmitted infections and intracavernous drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To rule out other potential conditions, a doctor may order a color Doppler ultrasound. These potential conditions for which differential diagnosis is necessary include Peyronie\u2019s disease and sclerosing lymphangitis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that doctors order to analyze blood flow through blood vessels. It works by bouncing ultrasound off circulating red blood cells. A healthcare professional orders a color Doppler ultrasonography test in cases when the clinical picture is not definitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a doctor believes PMD is secondary to some health problem or an underlying disease, they may order other tests such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>STI screening if they suspect a patient has syphilis&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Checking for enlarged lymph nodes in the groin as a preliminary investigation of cancer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/psa-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test<\/a> to detect prostate cancer&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Genetic test to screen for hypocoagulative disorders&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease is a benign condition that usually goes away on its own. Many patients don\u2019t need medical treatment. Generally speaking, the treatment for PMD revolves around alleviating inflammation and pain with anti-inflammatory agents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor may recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/nsaids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)<\/a> such as diclofenac or Voltaren to reduce inflammation. Topical creams containing heparin, an anticoagulant, to break down blood clots may be prescribed in some cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the condition doesn\u2019t resolve in six weeks, a doctor may prescribe oral heparin, which has various side effects such as liver toxicity and easy bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A patient diagnosed with PMD should avoid sexual intercourse until symptoms resolve. The same applies to masturbation, too. It is important to avoid these activities even if you don\u2019t experience pain and discomfort. Sex and masturbation could contribute to a lesion and slow down the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Severe and persistent penile mondor\u2019s disease requires a more advanced approach. In this case, the doctor may recommend surgery such as thrombectomy to remove the blood clot. Thrombectomy is accompanied by affected dorsal vein resection or removal. Thrombectomy with resection is carried out in an outpatient setting. The process of healing and recovery lasts about eight weeks on average.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease is a self-limiting condition. Most cases of PMD resolve within four to eight weeks. While some episodes of recurrence have been documented, they are associated with sexual intercourse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like with any other thromboembolic disease, there is a slight chance of developing deep venous thrombosis, but in most cases, it limits itself to superficial venous thrombosis. While research on PMD is relatively scarce, there are no reports of permanent deformity to the penis or <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/erectile-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">erectile dysfunction<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease is unlikely to induce permanent problems. For that reason, it\u2019s important to be proactive, see a doctor, and adhere to the treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Penile mondor\u2019s disease is a rare but under-recognized condition that affects veins on the surface of the penis. The self-limiting condition tends to go away on its own, but some patients may require specific treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of PMD can be uncomfortable and often require abstaining from masturbation and sexual intercourse. If you experience pain with an erection, make sure to see your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/eleven-sexual-health-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"sexual health tips\" class=\"wp-image-29828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11-sexual-health-tips.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/eleven-sexual-health-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 Tips To Naturally Improve Sexual Health In Men<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great deal of a man\u2019s confidence lies in sexual prowess.
