Swollen band below head of penis

[Thomo]

For the past few days I have had a swollen band/hard ridge below the head of my penis. (I am circumsized) The skin is swollen but feels like it is internal bruising, there are no cuts or wounds, and its not painful unless you put pressure onto it. It feels a bit like a band of grissle. Do you know what could be causing this? Thanks!

I have the exact same problem. What eventually happened with your situation?

Hello,While most such changes may represent minor trauma and resultant inflamation. Rarer cases like mondors disease need mention.This is caused by vigorous sexual activity leading to thrombophlebitis of superficial vein of penis.This spontaneously resolves in a few weeks.Peyronies needs mention and causes thickened plaques in the penis too.An ultrasound may be required to diagnose the condition which leads to curvature of penis.
