Penile vein thrombosis

male25 posted:

Hi,
I noticed a bulging, hard vein on the side of my penis about 3 days ago. It is on the left side and stretches from the base all the way up near the head, where it separates into smaller veins. I have researched the symptoms online and it matches all those of thrombosis. It doesn't really hurt, but I can feel its presence. The info I found said that doctors generally prescribe a 85mg of aspirin daily along with hot wraps and avoidance of arousal. I have followed all of these suggestions. Am I doing the right thing? I do not have health care and don't have any extra cash to see a doctor, so here I am.
