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?

OK, just had one recently.
The problem is that blod clot travels, and the first stop is lungs. Because blod clots usually happen in the blood without oxygen, it goes to the lung to get it and then goes around the body.
So blod clots plug access to lungs. Technically, you are about to die from suffocation. But you do not die from it. Your body needs oxygen and does not get it. So your heart is trying to give 500% percent to push blood through the blood clot, to collect oxygent and you die from heart attack.
Blot clots are only dangerous when they travel. They are normally attached to the blod vessel’s wall and grow. The speed of blod is slowing down once it starts so it gets congested, so blood coagulates…e.t.c. and they grow. And from legs there is a big arthery that they travel to the lung once they grow big and detach (tear off)
Penile one can not grow as big since they have to travel through smaller blood vessels and your body just dissolves them
Our bodies are smart, and symptoms when you can not move without stopping to catch breath is the time to go to the hospital. It will be worse if that blood clot travels to heart
This is what I had, I could not make it to the bathroom from my bed without 2 stops to catch my breath.
One more note, x-rays do not show them. Only MRIs do so your normal primary care physican might think you just have covid.
