What Causes A Discolored Vein On The Penis?
My son has had some issues for some time now and trying to figure out what might be the problem. He was checked for prostatitis, and complains of a discolored (purple) shriveled up penis. We saw a urologist, did a ultrasound, is able to void, prostate exam, it was boggy and tender, and was told very rare for a 19 year old. Not sure what else could be the problem.....He himself did online research and came across something called colletes fascia tear??
