I'm in my later 30's, married, but have experienced Prostate Issues since March that may be CPPS.  Also noticed some Hard Flacid Symptoms during this time.  In Early October 2017 I had vigorous sex with my wife.  We both seemed to have an uncommon boost of sexual energy and tried new positions, angles, and rough foreplay/HJ for about an hour total.  I felt some mild pain and discomfort during this episode but it didn't stop me from completion.  I also continued to masturbate regularly (every other day or so) and can be rough at times.  I was not sore at all the next day but developed the following symptoms starting a week later and have continued:

1. sclerosis lymphangitis (SL) These are several painless lymph channels that are barely noticeable under the penis skin in various locations but definitely weren't there before.  They are much more noticeable during an erection.
2.  Ridges/Ribs on the sides of my shaft.  These are faint semi-circle lines that curve around the sides, also painless.  I believe I had these to some degree previously but they are definitely now more pronounced, especially during erections and especially where my SL is located.  I've seen plenty of pornstars with this feature as well, I'm also a bit larger so I'm not sure if that's relatable.
3  Hourglass effect in middle of shaft.  Now I've had this effect as far back as I can remember but it's surely more pronounced.  while flaccid or semi-erect, this area does not fill up during an erection as quickly as the rest of the shaft.  But at full erection, it seems to fill out just fine and I'm able to achieve full rigidity.  Once the erection fades, it's the 1st area that softens.  I've always been more effected by this during the winter and it recently just got very cold in my area.
4.  This is what scares me the most.  During the flaccid state, I am now noticing that this "hourglass" area mid-shaft (and even closer to my body) the shaft has become more soft/floppy compared to the area closer to the head.  Causing the penis to hang looser/lower.  Perhaps a bloodflow issue??
BTW - no curve or pain

I am under allot of anxiety and have a porn addiction which causes me to have at least a dozen erections a day.  I am also trying to force myself to get erections so I can examine my symptoms (dumb I know) These particular erections are slightly harder to achieve and maintain.  I'm probably over-doing it but my morning erections are still quite excellent.

I went to my Urologist 1 month after noticing the 1st symptoms and he said the SL is nothing to worry about and it will go away in time, or become smaller.  He also couldn't comment on my "ribs/ridges" and didn't find them to be troublesome  He did a physical exam by bending,stretching,feeling my penis for any plaque related to Peyronies and could not find any.  He didn't perform a doppler ultrasound.  He seemed to be knowledgeable about the condition and said that if I do not experience any significant ED or curvature or pain during erections (I have none of these symptoms), than I don't have Peyronies and didn't give me any prescriptions.  What sucked is that I felt some penis pain where he inspected me for about 48 hours after the exam.  I guess he was way to rough but that pain/soreness is subsiding just fine.

What do you guys think?  Am I over-analyzing and should I just give it some rest for a couple of weeks?  Or should I get a second opinion in hopes to start early treatment?  Again, the pre-erection hourglass and floppy flaccid areas are troubling me.  I'm also wondering if my CPPS and hard-flaccid issues are causes of these issues as well.

My opinion, based on the information provided..... You could be over thinking this.

Just monitor yourself for any ongoing changes.

Try to forget about this, your situation is so mild it doesn't warrant concern. You should be concerned if you experience:

palpable hard nodules/lumps in your penis
curvature or indents in the full erect state
erectile dysfunction (i.e., you are unable to penetrate or maintain erection to ejaculation)

If you don't have those then you are wasting time worrying about this because one you do experience those you will be worrying about it constantly. Enjoy the worry free time.

Thanks for the feedback to both DN and Willis.  I'm glad this forum is around and I will try to calm down about this.
