Having Pain And Purple Vein Like Varicose In The Middle Of Scrotum. What To Do?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A prominent vein on the scrotum with pain in scrotum on hanging loose is likely to be due to varicocele. This happens due to venous congestion in the area. A direct examination by a surgeon is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile to decrease the congestion, you can start wearing a tight underwear so as to prevent the hanging of scrotum.
Embolisation or surgery might need to be considered in case of persistent pain and congestion.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

What type if surgeon would you reccommend me to see, and also would a picture of the vein help before heading to that cost? Thanks
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A close up picture of the area will be helpful in better evaluation. In case there is an increase in the size of scrotum along with the pain, consulting a urologist will be helpful.
