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

289 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?

Deep veins like the leg veins have a straight ride to the heart and are big. That’s why they are dangerous. Small veins don’t break off as often because the flow is much less.
