How Can Prominent Veins On The Testicle Be Treated?

Hi, I ve noticed hard and gnarled veins only in my left testicle. I was reading about varicocele veins and most definitions describe an enlarging of the veins. However, the veins I m talking about, although do seem a little bigger, are hard, a little lumpy, and gnarled. It seems to twist in odd ways. I was wondering if this is normal. Unfortunately I don t have enough money to get myself checked although I do understand this is the best thing to do.

Hi,

There are most probable chances that what you are observing is a normal condition. Kindly see for any other symptoms like pain, increase in temperature over the effected area, and shiny skin. The most peculiar finding like a feeling of bag of multiple worms when you touch it.

If you notice such things you have to get it checked. However in your case it appears from your information that it is just a single enlarged vein over the whole of scrotum, which is a usual thing when you grow up. So kindly be assured and stop worrying. Have a happy life and just stay cautious.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
