It is difficult to say without examination.

A bulging vein can be due to hemorrhoids or vein thrombosis.  A detailed physical exam by your physician can differentiate between the two.

An ultrasound of the affected area can be considered for further evaluation.  

This option can be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
