why are blood clots in legs deadly but penile blood clots are not?

331 views

Penile Mondor’s disease is a rare condition where you have penile blood clots. The condition resolves on its own and is not an emergency or life threatening. However having deep vein thrombosis is an emergency condition that needs attention right away because it’s life threatening.

I was under the impression that blood clots in veins can kill no matter where they are?

Off topic per se, but 7 or so years ago I got a blood clot in my left calf due to laying in bed for a week because of a severe pneumonia.
I would have never guessed how painful having a blood clot would be.
Walking was nearly impossible, sitting was barely tolerable.
Breaking a hand in a motorcycle crash was less painful than that damn blood clot.
