penile dorsal vein problem?

PLEASE READ!!! ok so here it goes i am almost 17 and i masturbate daily.some times 2 a day. and yesterday i locked my self in the bathroom for 2 hours... sitting on the toilet as i normally do(i sit on the toilet every day for about 30 min.pretending to be using the toilet but i masturbate) and yesterday i was not so horny so i ended up sitting on the toilet for about 2 h. after i ejaculated i peed and went to shower. in the shower i have noticed my big vein(i think it is dorsal) on my penis is swollen. or at least much bigger than usual. so a day has passed and i have visited a urologist,because it hasn't returned all the way to normal. and he said it was ok but he didn't ask any questions like when it happened or things like that... it started going down (the vein) so i masturbated cuz i thought it was ok and now it got the same size as yesterday(a bit smaller then the first time it happened) so i was wondering should i go to another urologist? thanks

I am an IV drug user. I just injected into a vein on the top of penis, and it is bleeding under the skin uncontrollably. Im sure its my right top dorsal vein. Is the internal bleeding going to stop, or do I need 2 go to hosp?

Hi, So your happy at last, but do yourself a favour, apart from washing it, and dont forget behind your for skin, try not to keep looking at it, the more you do that you just find faults.
Good Luck

i have masturbated 2 times since the last time i wrote. and weirdly masturbating seems to have helped me. the vein is less visible now. not a lot less but made me feel better... and my penis seems to be larger,somehow. but 1 thing i have been reading about(and gott worried) is a blood clot in the superficial dorsal vein. but it said that it is verry rare, and if it happened that is it often painfull. so i guess i dont have that :D

Hi, Look if you google dorsal vein and look at the images, you will see if yours looks the same, but there ahve been a couple of repoted cases of it bursting, but in way older men than you, the cases were through sex and not masturbating, so at your age you should be ok, if this is worrying you mad, it will send you that way, just go see you uro,but I dont think there is much he could do for you.
And google can a dorsal vien burst, still more for you to read, and then more to worry about, next stop funny farm.
Good Luck

Thanx for the website. Ill have a look a nit later :) well I went to 1 urologist and he said it was fine but he seemd to just say it. To finish with me because he had a bit of a crowd at the hospital... So I was thinking of going to another one(a private one this time) to confirm if I am ok. Or eventualy take an ultrasound or X ray of my penis... Cuz the vein is much larger then before.and when I look at it,it seems unnatural. Although I have no pain. I have noticed a mild tingle at the tip of my penis head  when I urinate(not every time) and when I lay down the vain goes back almost to normal but as soon as I stand up it pumps up.

Hi Go and google pegym, onthe page that come up if you look you will see photos, have a look lots of penis's both slack and erect, now from these see if you can find anything that looks like yours or worst.
At 17 you should not be a hypochondriac, your only this way because of your parents, try and stay away from drugs as much as you can, always look for a natural way out of things, every time you stuff drugs in your body we weaken it, theres loads of herbal ways out of things.
What ever you have have a look on earthclinic first, lots of info on there.
Good Luck

Thanx for the tips. I am normaly a bit of a hypohondriac expecialy when veins are in question(vains=my bigest fear) so I think i might be exaturating a bit... D u think its a good idea to go do a ultrasound or x ray of my penis just to get it checked out? And my penis doesn't seem natural. I always look at it and I'm really worried. Thanx for your help again.

Hi, No sports are good for you just carry on them, why you doing sports it should take you mind off you penis.
As for pics, med help dont like people posting pics of private parts, thet get removed when found, look we all have viens that show, so I dont think its such a bad thing as you think, no girl will ever say not touching the, look you have viens, just try to forget about it and think of it as normal, the more you think about the the worst you will think its getting.
As you go through this 4 weeks, and if your not touching yourself, you may just find that your not getting erections quite so offten, but if you are notouching.
Good Luck

You might try avoiding rubbing your shaft for a while.  Try using lube and simply rub your penis head.

Hi, I think you can put this down to over masturbating, try giving your self a break, try 4 weeks without masturbating or any sexual contact, even cut watching porn if you do, if after 4 weeks you still fill things are not right, give it 4 more weeks, when your doing this its a way of rebooting your body, just think of this as men we only get one penis, if we break it we dont get a new one thats it gone never again to rise, so treat it with some respect, your young with a whole sex life in front of you.
Good Luck
