Deep dorsal vein thrombosis or lymphangiosclerosis?

What are the best diagnostic tools to see whether one has either thrombosis of their deep dorsal vein (in the penis) or lymphangiosclerosis in the penis? And how would I go about finding a Urologist able to treat any of these disorders? I have visited several but they have never heard of them. Have not been able to use my penis for 6 months.

I also have this same problem and I have had it for over a year now. At first I couldn't abstain from sex and masterbation. The urge was too great. Now however the pain has forced me to stop almost all together. I fear this vein or lymphangiosclerosis or whatever it is will never heal. The longest I have been able to abstain is a little over a month but on average is about two weeks. I have been to a few urologists and no one seems to have any definitive answers. I have read conflicting ideas on sex and masterbation. Some say abstain some say don't bother. Since this thing has started I have become extremely depressed because it has quite literally removed my ability to show love to my wife. Sure I can buy flowers etc but as men we all know sex is our truest way of showing our love and affection. I don't know what to do anymore and to be honest if it weren't for my son I would probably commit suicide over this. The pain both physical and mental have become almost unbearable. Let me know if you find anymore info on this topic as I'm holding on by a thread now.
