Is it normal to have blood vessels on the penis?

Blood vessels are an important part of our body and are found all over our body. However, in daily life, many men find that they have a lot of blood vessels on their penis, and many of them are very obvious. They can't help but be very worried, wondering if this is normal. So, is it normal to have blood vessels on the penis? Let's take a closer look.

The "earthworm" protruding under the skin of the penis is varicose veins of the penis. The venous blood of the penis can flow back to the superficial external vein of the pudendal region through the superficial dorsal vein of the penis, then be injected into the great hidden vein, and then return to the heart through the veins of the lower limbs. It can also enter the pelvic cavity through the deep dorsal vein of the penis, and then merge into the internal vein of the pudendal region to return to the heart.

Causes of varicose veins: There are many reasons for this condition, including foreign bodies in the veins, stones, or compression of the venous wall. One of the reasons may be that the venous valves on the penis fail to function, causing blood to accumulate in the veins, causing the veins to dilate and become varicose. In addition, if the spermatic vein is compressed by a tumor, it can also cause varicose veins. Treatment should be based on different causes. For example, if the venous wall is compressed, surgery is required to relieve the pressure on the venous wall. If it is a foreign body or stone in the vein, it is more difficult to treat and requires penile venography for confirmation before appropriate surgery. If the symptoms are mild and do not affect fertility, most patients with varicose veins do not need treatment.

Wearing supportive underwear can relieve discomfort better than loose underwear. If the swelling and discomfort are severe, surgery may be necessary. The choice of medical treatment depends mainly on the severity of the symptoms, the impact of the symptoms on the patient's daily life, whether the patient's varicose veins are caused by other diseases, and whether the patient has complications (such as testicular atrophy or infertility).

The above is an introduction to whether it is normal to have blood vessels on the penis. I hope it will be helpful for men to understand. It is normal for blood vessels to appear on the male penis, but if the blood vessels are more obvious and look like "earthworms", it must be taken seriously. It is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. After all, varicose veins of the penis still need to be treated in time, and it must be taken seriously.
