penile varicose vein

[gom24]

I am 21 years old and recently i have developed a varicose vein on my penis. It runs from the base of the head along my shaft.I masturbate a lot but however for the past 3 months i have stopped.The vein gives me slight discomfort.I am not sexually active.
Will the varicose vein ever heal? If so , how long will it take?
What kind of diet do I have to maintain to do so?
Can I have sex without it affecting my life?
Is there any medication I can take that can help the healing process?

As of now I'm good.I can get erection without any discomfort or pain and maintain them.But at times i get a mild pain which goes away quickly.No change in the presence of the vein.It is present in my flaccid state and when erect it is all squiggly and all distended. Is there any treatment for this??? injections/meds ????

Hi,
How are you? As mentioned from the other post, the presence of pain or discomfort warrants further evaluation. The vein prominence may subside or may persist depending on the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the cause. Additional diagnostic tests such as ultrasound may also be indicated if the symptom persists. Take care and regards.
