pain in the penis

When my penis is hard and I bend it downward, Like taking a morning **** with a hardon, I get a terrible pain..  the pain seems to come from the vein ( or whatever it is) that goes from the base of the penis along the top to the tip.  There is no discarge at all, or any pain at all when the penis is not hard..Or when I bend the penis up toward the body...

One consideration would be penile vein thrombosis.  This is noramlly diagnosed clinically, but an ultrasound can be considered if the diagnosis is still in question.  

If this is the case, the treatment is conservative via NSAIDs.  However, in refractory cases, you can consider surgical options.  

These options can be discussed with your personal physician or urologist.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
