instruction: hi doctor I had an injury to my penis about two and a half weeks ago which caused a blood clot at the base of the penis the clot has healed within three to four days however on one side of my penis there are prominently visible veins when flaccid that looks irregular and also there seems to be a vein that is harder than the others when I am erect that runs all the way up the side of my penis when erect I wondered if I could post a before and after photo and ask you if I need to seek treatment or if everything looks normal I wanted to know if there is a chance I have sustained a permanent injury to my pens or if these veins might settle over time I am not experiencing any pain except for the veins
output: hello welcome to icliniq com I have gone through your queries you had an injury over the base of the penis and had a hematoma over there and there are prominent veins at the side of injury let me first assure you it was most probably a superficial injury as you are not having any erectile dysfunction and any deformity after erection the injury has not involved the deep layer of the penis which is also called tunic albuginea so you need not worry the veins even if prominent will cause no harm it will create a few collateral and drainage will be as fine as before but if you are still anxious you can undergo a us ultrasound and doppler study of penis it will tell you regarding the integrity of tunic albuginea as well as the competence of blood vessels supplying the penis it is only to assure you can also visit the office of your local urologist as you need clinical examination too but do not worry I hope everything will be fine soon
