What Causes A Swollen Vein On The Shaft Of The Penis?
Hi, I ve just been recently diagnosed with the cold sore version of the Herpes virus. I have what feels like a swollen vein on the shaft of my penis running from the base up to close to the end - you can feel the vein easily by touch but can t see it. It feels tender to touch, like it s bruised or something. Would this be related to the Herpes? Thanks for your help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, they are normal. It is same as sometime you feel veins on your hand or foot. Take complete treatment for cold sore.
Take care.
