Enlarged Dorsal Vein Repairs
Hi there,
I've got this small lump on my groin at the base of where my penis starts and pubic bone meet. I've had this lump for as long as I can remember, maybe it was never there when I was younger but I can not remember, all I know is that I've got it.
I'm a grower not a shower, but this lump is visible when I'm not erect, and extremely visible when I am. It's so obvious and weird looking, and not to mention embarrassing when I date girls. Though, the lump is painless, doesn't hurt, but is squishy and if I push down on the lump when my penis is erect, my erection feels stronger.
Anyways, I thought I'd finally go see a doctor about it as I've always wanted to know what it was. So I booked my appointment, had a 5 minute checkup and was told that is was an enlarged dorsal vein & everything is ok, but gave me a referral to a urologist to see if there is anything cosmeticlly can be done to change the appearance of it.
Since then, and before my appointment with the urologist, I've been researching what type of dorsal. Win issue it is, and what is that they can do to fix it. I'm pretty sure it's a Superficial Dorsal Vein, but I can't find any information on what they do to repair it. Do any of you guys know? Have you guys had something like this before? Does it come back once it's repaired etc?
I really want to get it fixed, more so for cosmetic reasons. The lump when my penis is erect is embarrassing, so visible and kind of disgusting. I don't feel normal because of it.
Can someone please help me?
Cheers
