Is A Blue Varicose Vein In Between Scrotum And Anus A Concern?
My husband has what looks like a vericose vein between his scrotom and anus. It is blue in color and slightly swollen. It is tender to the touch and causes discomfort when sitting or walking. Any ideas as to what this might be or what he can do about it

Hi,
Varicose veins may be due to varicocele or age-related thinning of connective tissue lead to lack of support to veins or infections or thrombophlebitis, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use Thrombophobe gel locally to reduce pain. Use pain killer medication.
If symptoms not improved please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
