Suggest Remedy For Thrombosis
My physician disagnosed a growth in the glans as thrombosis. The growth appeared suddenly, after vigorous sex. He didn't seem concerned, did not prescribe treatment, but offered to refer me to a urologist if I had further concerns. Am I right to simply let it heal? Are there other forms of treatment?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The exact nature of the lesion on the glans can be determined by clinical assessment alone.
Vigorous sexual activity can lead to abrasion, injury, bruising and thrombosis of blood vessels.
Avoid sexual activity for couple of days and wait for the bruising and thrombosis to disappear.
If it does not disappear after waiting for some time, you need to consult your urologist.
Thanks and take care
