Question: I seem to have purple or dark-colored varicose veins on my penis! How did it happen? Is it dangerous? Is there any way to remove them without surgery?
Answer: Adult penis when fully erect will have tortuous veins and the penile head will appear bluish and showing pink or reddish streaks. These are not varicose veins. However one can get varicose veins when one masturbates excessively. Considering the penile skin is thick, the varicose veins are not easily bruised during sexual intercourse. I have yet to see men with varicose veins of the penis. Most of the time the varicose veins can be rectified by tying off the afflicted vein.
