- Lymphangiosclerosis
Lymphangiosclerosis is a hardened
lymph vessel , although it can feel like a hardened, almost calcified or fibrous,vein . It tends to not share the common blue tint with a vein however. It can be felt as a hardened lump or "vein" even when the penis is flaccid, and is even more prominent during an erection. It is considered a benign physical condition, although it can become uncomfortable during sex or masturbation. It is fairly common and can follow a particularly vigorous sexual activity for men and tends to go away if given rest and more gentle care, for example by use oflubricants . Even without rest or gentle care, in some cases it will simply disappear after a few weeks on its own.
