Hi,

I dont know if this is a serious problem or not, but its something that is troubling me.

Last week, i noticed a vein like lump going all the way around the base of the head of my penis.

It seems to be larger when i wake up first thing in the morning, but then during the day its not there.

Any info or advice as to what it could be would be appreciated!

Spend some time on Web MD and learn about your anatomy. What your are describing as a vein, is a vein. I'm no doctor I assure you but the way an erection works is blood is pumped into the penis and held in by locking devices (so to speak) Then at the correct time (hopefully) the locking devices release and the blood drains out and the penis goes flacid again.

Now, I Believe that erections during the night can occur because of dreams, but I've had erections upon awakening that meant I needed to pee, really bad.
