All patients related the onset of the thrombosis to vigorous sexual intercourse. No other etiological medications, drugs or constricting devices were implicated. Three patients were treated acutely with anti-inflammatory medications, while 4 were managed expectantly. The mean interval to resolution of symptoms was 7 weeks. Followup ranged from 3 to 30 months (mean 11) at which time all patients noticed normal erectile function. Only 1 patient had recurrent thrombosis 3 months after the initial episode, again related to intercourse. We conclude that this is a benign self-limited condition. Anti-inflammatory agents are useful for acute discomfort but they do not affect the rate of resolution. © 1993 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByLUZZI G, PATTINSON J and WATHEN C (2018) FACTOR V LEIDEN PRESENTING WITH PENILE VEIN THROMBOSISJournal of Urology, VOL. 159, NO. 6, (2093-2093), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1998.GANEM J and KENNELLY M (2018) RUPTURED MONDOR'S DISEASE OF THE PENIS MIMICKING PENILE FRACTUREJournal of Urology, VOL. 159, NO. 4, (1302-1302), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1998.
