I am Brian, healthy physically active white male, age 74, height 5 ft 10 , 140 lbs. I have had a very small bulging vein on the skin on the left side of my penis for at least 10 years. It was skin colored, not much larger than a grain of rice, and caused no problems. About 1 month ago it started swelling and became dark colored. Now it is about an inch long and bulges out more than 1/4 inch, more like a long sack than a vein. I have no varicose (dark or bulging) veins anywhere else on my body. It is showing dark spots on the surface and looks to me like it will rupture soon. I have a urology appointment near the end of January (referred by family doctor visit yesterday), but it looks more urgent to me?
