Cureus. 2020 May 27;12(5):e8317. doi: 10.7759/cureus.8317.

Abstract

Penile Mondor's disease is a rare condition characterized by thrombophlebitis of superficial penile dorsal veins. We report a case of a 26-year-old male who developed a lump on the dorsal surface of the penis following intensive masturbation after prolonged sexual abstinence. Physical examination revealed a firm, cord-like swelling with beaded texture with no localized regional lymphadenopathy. The patient was successfully managed with non-steroidal inflammatory drugs and was symptom-free on a follow-up.

Keywords: masturbation; penile diseases; vigorous sexual activity.
