>You gave a very good description of varicose veins and it may be that if you ask some family members they too may have them, as this tendency does run in families. Now, there is usually no sigificance to these other than it suggests that the same mechanism is in place for you to get hemorrhoids! It is due to a weakening of the valves in the internal venous drainage system.
is this normal? i am only 30. do many men my age have these? Is is common?
Are the spider veins more common than the varicose. i have a lot of spider veins on my penis. when i am near a strong light i can see many more samll red veins amd spider veins, this includes my scrotum, especially when i pull the skin somewhat tight around a testes, or sometimes when the testes are hanging loose. i suppose some of these veins are normal and not spider and i see them because the skin is thin, but others do appear to be spider. will this get worse, will they repair on their own. sorry to ask so many questions, but if you know would you please elaborate. AM I NORMAL/IS IT COMMON FOR MY AGE? thank you
