Question : Hi doc

I am healthy male

Have had a examination of testicle and all is fine no varicose or anything like that.

Just see a appearance of line on the testicle when I have testicle in between legs which I wanted a second opinion on. Is this just normal anatomy..Everything checked from the back properly but just a little vessel found on the testicle which is visible and wanted a second opinion on thanks

It is a small vessel under the skin

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxx6500,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. There is a small vessel running under the scrotum skin in the picture. Such an appearance is normal and not of concern. The scrotum skin has a good blood supply with few vessels seen under the skin like the one in the picture. Please do not get troubled about it.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
