Veins of the Penis Subcutaneous

The subcutaneous veins of the penis (v. dorsales penis subcutaneae, BNA, JNA) are veins that are located under the skin of the penis. They are one of the important components of the male anatomy and play an important role in the erection process.

The saphenous veins of the penis run along the entire length of the penis, starting from its base and ending with the head. They are part of the penile venous system and are responsible for draining blood away from the tissues of the penis.

During an erection, when the blood supply to the penis increases, the saphenous veins of the penis contract to prevent the outflow of blood and maintain an erection. This occurs through a mechanism called “vein compression.”

The venous system of the penis is important for men's health. Impaired venous circulation can lead to various problems, including erectile dysfunction and other diseases of the reproductive system.

The venous system of the penis also plays an important role in the process of operations on the male genital organs. Surgeons must be careful when working with penile veins to avoid damaging them.

Thus, the saphenous veins of the penis are an important part of the male anatomy and play an important role in the erection process and the overall health of the reproductive system. It is important to pay attention to the health of the penis and promptly consult a doctor if any problems arise.



The veins of the penis are a paired organ located in the thickness of the corpora cavernosa and includes the external and internal cavernous veins. They serve to provide blood flow to the penis. Venous blood is drained from the penis through veins that drain into the vaginal venous angle.

The veins that take part in the blood supply to the penis are located under the skin. The internal cavernous vein, which is located in the wall of the corpus cavernosum, communicates with the superior vena cava system through the venous plexus. The external cavernous artery, which receives blood from the external penile artery through the dorsal penile vein. It is involved in the formation of the four saphenous veins, located between the joints of the bones in the pubic region.

These veins cross the medial border of the fascia and pass in an arch to the inferior side of the sacrum. From the upper part of each internal and lower part (given to the lower part, penetrating into the bundles and interosseous septa; lower third) there is an anastomosis in the internal pudendal vein system. The lower third of the saphenous vein of the penis is separated from the upper third, which continues into the outer ring on the inside of the erectile vein at its dorsal end. In the lower third, the external base has a small dividing canal between the internal cavernous artery and the internal penis.
