What Can Be This Little Ball Has Appeared On Top Of My Glans On The Left Side Above The Urethral Meatus?

default
Posted on 1 day ago
Question: Since last year (December) a little ball has appeared on top of my glans on the left side above the urethral meatus, and inside it is possible to see a gray line where it would perhaps be a vein.

In that same period (December) little itchiness (very little) appeared with a little smegma. I went to the doctor and it was candidiasis. He prescribed me fluconazole and clotrimazole, I took it and the itch and smegma went away.

However, the ball continued and the gray/purple line inside the urethral meatus too, so in March I went to another doctor and explained the case that I had candidiasis and this ball had appeared. He said that everything was normal and that this gray line is just a vein, peculiar to my penis. He also found nothing abnormal on the left side of the gland which is a little swollen.

So after two doctors I still have doubts and not six and it is normal. My urine comes out a little now divided because of this vein, the doctor also said it would be normal. The first 4 photos are the flaccid penis where you can see that the surface of the meatus is half curved opposite to where the vein is. The last 2 are the erect penis where the curvature disappears a little but you can see that the coloring of this left region is more reddish. The vein when erect is not very visible.

Ah, I just remembered that when I take fluconazole this swelling gets bigger and after a few days it goes back to how it is in the photos.

Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts and photos that you have uploaded what you have noticed a blue line inside your external urinary meatus (Opening) is a normal anatomical variation of a small tributary of a veins inside glans penis and is seen in many individuals and has no significance at all.

It is not going to cause any major issues in your sexual life nor in passing urine except slight spraying of urinary stream caused by obstruction due to this prominent vein .
