The varicocele has presented little to no problems over the last few years however in the last 6 months or so I am started to get a combination of red
and purplish superficial
veins on the shaft of my penis. The largest one is near the base, stretching from the base to about mid-shaft, and is purple or blue in color. They don't bulge out at all and are very thin. They are way more noticeable when erect, and when flaccid, if I stretch the penis they present very clearly.
