Vein on glans of penis

I posted on here back in October. Dr. Bhupinder Kaur, MD responded to it and I hope she can respond to this or someone.

Past Post:
Title SIngle Bump/Bubble on glans

I've noticed this a month ago...a bump/bubble on the glans/head of my penis. From reading around online, I came across many different problems people have with a bump or bumps on their penis. I didn't come across something directly like what I have, so I decided to make a post and hope to receive some kind of feedback about this. The reason I say this is a bump, because it looks like a bump but when touching it; it feels not like a bump and is not hard. The color of it is usually bluish/purple making me think of a vein. Also, there is no type of pain from not touching it or touching it.

New Post:
It's now 3 months, and seems like everything is the same. However, size goes down sometimes during the day. I have contacted another Dr. Online on another website, and he said this was normal as random as these things appear they will disappear at random.

Like a good student, I keep continuous research of what I can do to get this to go away and or how long this will take to go away. I came across information about venous malformations of the glans penis.  Do you think this might be what I have?

I have attached recent pics... This picture is using flash

Thanks

Hello,
It can be a superficial vein on penis. However t is important to rule out Mondor’s disease. Mondor’s disease is superficial thrombophlebitis of the penis. This is an inflammatory reaction to a clot within the vein. This subsequently causes blockages and dilation of the vein. It is typically painless, but can be painful. In studies, patients were noted to have thrombophlebitis after a prolonged sexual act with or without intercourse. It was described as cord-like thickening of the superficial penile veins.

Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
