Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have a thick cord like structure at the base of penis.
This is nothing but a one of the dilated tributaries of dorsal vein of penis that drain in dorsal venous plexus situated at the base of the penis behind Pubic bone.
This is common to have such dilated tributaries in some individuals and do not carry any significance.
Please do not worry about it.
