Burst blood vessel on penis head (includes pics)?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey guys, I posted about this about a mo th ago and since then the problem has come and gone. It appears that I may have had a burst blood vessel or something on the head of my penis, just to the right of the urethra opening. If I leave myself alone for a few days or more it gradually clears up but you all know that you can't control night time erections and it's the erections that appear to ro be stopping whatever his is healing completely.
Anyway, wife and I had sex for the first time over a month last night (she's had issues with her hip) and straight after it returned. Whatever it is, it's clearly caused by the increased blood flow when I get an erection but I'm not sure whether to be really concerned or not. Any thoughts or anybody experienced this and can reassure me? Thanks in advance fellas.

Your profile settings don't let anyone see your other posts. Haven't you seen a doctor yet though? It looks like a burst blood vessel to me too, but I'd get it checked out.

Hmm, sorry about that I will take a look at my settings.
No, the issue had looked to be resolving on its own (albeit gradually) until Wednesday night. I am planning to see my GP, most likely early next week. It had me quite worried but as there was no pain or discomfort and I wasn't peeing blood or anything, I was assuming it was simply a blood vessel bursting and not being allowed time to heal.
Hoping somebody else had had this issue!

So, popped in to see my GP but had to see the nurse consultant instead. She wasn't entirely sure what the problem was, but didn't seem overly fussed. Asked if I was on warfarin, which I'm not, but said I'd taken aspirin for the two days prior which she said will be the cause of the problem. It clearly isn't, as the problem has been there for over a month, which I then mentioned.
She seemed to think it may be caused by increased blood flow to the penis glans. Mentioned the vein/blood vessel in the glans but I can't remember the name. Anyway, she's advised to not 'use it' for a week or so and see how it goes and then made me an appointment with the actual doctor in a couple of week's time.
I have to admit, I'm glad I've seen somebody about it now but would've preferred a more definitive assessment so I know what it is and whether I'm causing any more damage by having sex, etc. Also, considering where this is, it's practically impossible for it to completely heal on it's own as we can hardly control those night time erections (like, literally, I was erect every time I woke up through the night last night which won't be helping).
Any newcomers got any thoughts or experienced this themselves?

hey there, I have the same exact problem. Mine has lasted for over 5 years... it is a recurring issue, I have abstained from any sexual activity for up to a month and although it seems to have healed, the second I resume any sexual activity the pressure of the blood seems to rupture it all over again. I haven't seen a medical professional since it is rather embarrassing to speak of but I am afraid that the constant healing and rupturing may turn this into something malignant. Anyway, I am curious to see if you have solved your issue or to hear what a medical professional has said about it.

Hi matt, I'm not sure whether the problem has resolved itself to be honest, as it's now been almost 2 years since I last had sex and my partner split with me in February, partly due to this problem.
On the other hand, I haven't had this issue for over a year (when doing things with and without my partner) so that's reassuring, at least. But it did get to the stage where I had to take a break from sex for a week or more every time as I had this problem every time. Friction and the foreskin pulling too hard during sex seemed to be the cause of the problem. After I changed GPs (the last one was just awful anyway) I had meant to mention it to my new one but now I'm single again, there seems little point at the moment! Not least of all because I can't get to see him physically due to another lockdown.
Somebody on another site did suggest something that made a lot of sense and it seems that the only solution may be some sort of minor 'plastic' surgery. I'll see if I can find the name of the condition. It is to do with a slightly tight foreskin.
