This is normal with adding years .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

With increasing age skin of scrotom keeps getting thinner and thinner...the bluish veins over testicles get prominent and this gives it a bluish hue.

There is nothing to worry about them actually if there is no other issue but the colour change.

Blue balls usually refers to tender testicles which occurs after prolonged arousal without eventual ejeculation.

Are you having any other symptoms other than blue hue on scrotom? any other part of body getting blue colour?

Hello,

Thanks for writing back,

Thanks for prividing me with detailed and relevant information.According to this info you seem to be having no serious problem in my opinion.

As I said skin all over the body starts getting thinner with time and as scrotal skin is already thin compared to other parts of the body so veins in it get prominant and give it a bluish hue. There doesn't seem to be anything serious.

Its a pleasure to know that you are having a very active life style and your blood pressure is very fine , one thing i would suggest you is to take some tood multi vitamin daily in start for a month then at tablet in 2..3 days ... this will provide you with essential vitamins and will strengthen your skin and slow down age related changes.

Stay blessed have a great weekend.

Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad.
