Will lymphangiosclerosis go away? Please share your experience.

Hello everyone. I'm a male, 16. Recently I've noticed some swollen veins on my penis, espacially dorsal vein. It is still noticeable when flaccid but it's okay when I'm lying. After doing some research, I think that it's a lymphangiosclerosis. Have any of you ever encountered this? It is written on the Internet that it should pass after 2-3 weeks of abstinence. Waiting for your advices.

This can go away on it's own, if that's what it is. You should really let a doctor make that diagnosis, though, since it might be something else that needs treatment.

Thanks for your response. I've visited doctor around a month ago to check if I have varicocele. He scanned my scrotum and told that it's okay. I didn't show him this vein, but I think he would have said if something was wrong. Anyway, I will describe the situation under this post after around a month since today.

That can be a dangerous assumption to make. If he was only looking for a varicocele, he may have missed the vein entirely.

Since you thought a month ago that you had a varicocele, and now think it's this, why not just get a good thorough exam? Tell the doc what you think, and have him check everything to look for anything that could be wrong. Peace of mind is invaluable.

I think I definitely don't have varicocele. The thing is, I don't see any signs of it right now. Then I went to the doctor because of an error in the medical board.

Besides, I'm afraid of urologists)

Okay, well, a regular doctor should be able to tell you if there are any irregularities. If everything is okay now, though, it's good, right?
