Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i have a skinny purple vein on the right side of my penis connected to another vein which branches out and looks blue and just started to be like a regular vein,the purple vein join together at the base of my penis with the blue vein and it kinda has a soreness to it why is the one vein that is purple acting like this and not getting bigger like the one it is connected to and can it get better.
Welcome to HCM This is Dr Amit. Let me help you in this case Normally it is superficial dorsal vein of the penis which drains the prepuce and skin of the penis and running backward inclines to the right or left and opens into the corresponding superficial vein. Veins in your penis will usually have a blue color but sometimes you may have what looks like a "vein" appear that wasn't there before. It may be accompanied by some swelling particularly around the corona (head) of your penis and often it appears after some vigorous sexual activity. This is often a lymph channel inflammation. Lymph channels usually follow near blood vessels, but the lymph system has no pump to move the fluid. It is usually accompanied by some discomfort,swelling and soreness. Treatment REQUIRES leaving the area alone. That means no sex or masturbation until at least a week after it appears to be completely healed Hope i have given satisfactory answer to your query Regards
