What We Know About Penile Mondor's Disease

Introduction: Penile Mondor's Disease (PMD) is a rare illness that causes thrombophlebitis in the superficial veins of the penis that is manifested by transient pain and swelling. PMD often is associated with trauma to the penis, prolonged or vigorous sexual intercourse, and has been linked to genetics. Objectives: Our aim is to review the current literature on PMD. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of English and Turkish publications on PMD was found through PubMed and Web of Science using various keywords. It is a systematic review. Results: PMD might be an uncommon, harmless condition that normalizes with moderate therapy or potentially clinical therapy. Its pathogenesis has not yet been completely explained; however, different etiological variables are known. The current studies on PMD are summarized. Conclusion: Analyses are frequently made with a fair history and actual assessment. In any case, education on the illness is needed. Furthermore, the identification should be supported by ultrasonography. In a greater part of the patients, results are acquired with 2 months of clinical treatment. In exceptionally uncommon cases, careful thrombectomy or expulsion of the superficial vein is required. Copyright (C) 2022, International Society of Sexual Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc.
