Penis veins

Ever since I was about 14, I have had very visible penis veins.  I have the main dorsal on top, then about 8 other VERY visible veins also.  I have read some information about Mondor's Disease, but I have not expereinced any of the symptoms associated with it.  I have started to take some Ibuprofen for about 4 weeks now to see if it would change anything but it has not, so i guess im ruling out the possibility of MOndors.  Even if there is nothing wrong with the veins in my penis, I still do not like them and I want to make them less noticeable.  Are there any exercises, surgery, pills, or even a colour die injection, stoping masterbation, to make them less noticeable?  This is causing some very low self esteem problems with my love life.  I went to a Urologist for a post   Varicocele surgery (which i thought had to do with it in the first place but ended up not) and the doctor said that they are perfectly normal, I am ont happy with that answerand I would love to have some advice on what i can do to have them less visible or removed.  Thank you very much

Typically Mondor's disease is treated with conservative therapy like NSAIDs - as you are doing.  

An ultrasound can be considered to rule out a more serious vascular disorder.  

You can also obtain blood tests to rule out a systemic blood clotting disorder to ensure nothing bigger is being missed.

If the veins continue to be present and the testing does not reveal a more serious disease, you can consider a urology referral to discuss a surgical option to remove the veins.

These options can be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
