“…When discussing prognosis with patients, much of the literature supports Penile Mondor’s as a benign, self-limiting condition though longitudinal studies investigating the impact on sexual function are limited. Durmus and Ok 11 suggested that patients with pre-existing erectile dysfunction may experience worsening symptoms after Mondor’s Disease. Furthermore, for patients presenting with Penile Mondor’s without a provoking event, further investigation to outrule underlying malignancy is sensible.…”

Introduction Mondor’s disease of the penis, or superficial thrombophlebitis affecting penile veins, is a rare condition. Common causes include prothombotic states, venous stasis or excessive manipulation. The literature includes one case report of Mondor’s Disease after endovenous laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy and a case series after open saphenofemoral junction ligation. However, there have been no noted cases of this rare complication after mechanochemical ablation of the GSV. Case Details A 50-year-old man with bilateral great saphenous venous incompetence had truncal mechanochemical ablation of both above-knee GSV segments with the ClariveinTM device with adjunctive 1% Fibrovein foam to varicose tributaries. Day three post-operatively he began experiencing suprapubic pain and noted tender “cord-like” veins along the penile shaft. Duplex investigation of the penis demonstrated occlusive thrombus in the superficial veins draining into the dorsal vein of the penis. The patient was treated with 75 mg oral Clopidogrel for four weeks and his symptoms resolved without functional impairment. Conclusions Vascular surgeons should be aware that this rare albeit self-limiting thrombotic complication can occur after endovenous mechanochemical ablation of the great saphenous vein with adjunct foam sclerotherapy, particularly as this procedure is performed very frequently. Interestingly, the majority of reported cases have occurred after bilateral interventions. The patients can be reassured that their symptoms will likely settle and the use of anti-thrombotic therapy is largely at the surgeon’s discretion.

“…Additionally, two case reports have suggested a link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and PMD due to COVID-19's documented impact on thrombosis pathophysiology [33][34][35]. Moreover, in men with erectile dysfunction and a low International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) score, PMD may exacerbate symptoms [41].…”

Penile Mondor's Disease Resulting From Forceful Condom Removal During Sexual Intercourse: A Case Report and Literature Review

Penile Mondor's disease, or dorsal vein thrombophlebitis, is vital for urologists to recognize. It causes pain and hardening in the penis due to triggers like trauma or neoplasms. Distinguishing it from similar conditions such as sclerosing lymphangitis and Peyronie’s disease is crucial. Penile Doppler ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic method. Providing reassurance can ease patient anxiety. This case report highlights a unique occurrence following forceful condom removal during sex, detailing symptoms, diagnosis, and successful treatment.
