What Causes Bulging Vein On Penis During Erection?
Question: what can i do to get rid of bulging vein on penis when erect
Brief Answer:
Bulging veins occurs in penis during erection and no need to get rid
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The penis gets its blood supply from arteries which are elastic channels. The blood is drained out through veins which are have collapsible walls. The arteries are located in the smooth muscle which is part of the shaft of penis and the veins can be seen under the skin on the surface.
2. During erection, the blood is pumped in to the penis through the arteries and the drainage of blood through the veins is held back. This causes the blood to get collected in the veins and cause erection.
3. Therefore the bulging veins in penis during erection is normal and not a problem.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Normal engorged veins help in keeping the penis erect
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. Normal engorged veins in penis help to keep it erect. Rarely a person might develop erectile dysfunction and the cause can be venous insufficiency. In this group of people, the vein might be blocked as a part of treatment.
2. In normal people there is no need to do any medical procedure. However it is important to know if you have any condition involving the veins of your penis. A clinical examination with the urologist will reveal if there is any abnormal veins.
3. I agree that it might appear ugly to you but since your erections are normal, therefore there is no need of any such medical procedure. For cosmetic reasons, such a procedure is not indicated.
Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Please consult the urologist with your requirements
Detailed Answer:
Hi Lesleyross,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. I suggest that you please take photos of the erect penis with bulging veins and first approach the urologist. Let them study your case in detail and then proceed with your requirements. Technically, urologists and vascular surgeons are better trained in this area. Plastic surgeons do it less often.
