Penis vein problem

Hey, I have been concerned about the veins in my penis for a last 1½ weeks. I noticed one new, visible vein on the left side of my penis, and that the other veins that were before only slightly visible had now become much more prominent and bulging. And this is when I'm not hard. When I have erection these veins are not so visible, unless I'm standing: then they ugly pop up to the surface (hasn't happened before, not this much at least).

Anyway, I immediately started to search the net to find out what was wrong, and read through everything that sounded even slightly of my problem, from varicose veins to lymphatic vessel thrombosis. Well, what I found out from Penis Enlargement forums (heh) actually sounded kinda much the condition that I have: these guys who have been doing all these kind of jelqing and stretching exercises (I'm not one of them if anyone suspects..) say that after few weeks they started to get new veins to their penises, and they were showing even when flaccid (just like mine).

They say that it's completely natural that your penis reacts to the exercises like that. Well, I haven't been doing anything like that of course, but I think that there could be another reason for my veins to bulge: I've been *sigh* jerking off for some time now kinda intensively. Maybe too long sessions, too many times a day with a little too strong grip have caused my veins to grow so much?

Well, now comes the question part. Can you reduce vein size back to what it used to be? I mean are veins like muscles: if you don't use them they start to become smaller? I have thought that if I jerked off from now on max once per 2 days (a lot less work to the veins than before) very gently, could they start to reduce in size? Or are there other ways to make them smaller and less visible? Getting a little more fat?

If someone has an answer for this I would be sooo grateful. This thing has a very bad effect to my self-esteem, because my **** used to be those few things in my body that I was happy with, and I hate to think that it'll be ugly like this for the rest of my life.

It may be a blood clot so you probably should get it checked out.

I'm 24 and recently (like within this month) I've had varicose veins appear on my legs, wrists and now one on my penis on the left. It doesn't hurt really, but ocasionally kinda tingles. I'm gonna get myself checked out tho!

I tried the inclined bed therapy thing, although at a lower angle than suggested, for about a week. It seemd to make my veins worse...

foreskin in a line towards my my penis head. it appeared out of nowhere a few weeks ago. Its more superficial thicker than other veins and you can actualy see and feel it on the surface of my penis skin, its more white/red colored, a few cm long.

I have them since 5 weeks now, but I'm afraid that they will become painfull in the future. I've read some stories of guys who experience burning sensation. So you can understand mine concern. For how long doo you have varicose veins on the penis??

I'm with Dana on this one I have varicose veins all the way up the underside of my penis and was highly anxious and concerned about the implications this may have on my sex life. When I had my first sexual relationship I was relieved of my concerns, my girlfriend re-confirming what Dana just said. It won't be a problem and if it is, your definitely with the wrong person.
