It's normal to have veins visible, either flaccid or erect, and a penis without any visible veins would look unusual. If you've got one that's only become visible recently though and you've also had surgery, then it would be worth getting it checked out, especially if you're worried about it.

It’s normal for your penis to be veiny. In fact, these veins are important. After blood flows to the penis to give you an erection, the veins along your penis take blood back to the heart.

Some people have veins that are more visible than others. Vein size and shape can change over time or after having sex, getting injured, or having blood vessel surgery.

Read on to learn more about why your veins are important, how they can change over time, and when to see your doctor.

I'm not a doctor, but I don't see how this could be life-threatening. If you're that worried about it though, then you should see a doctor for your own peace of mind.

im not too worried anymore i think it’s just a normal vein :) thank you! any advice to speed up the swelling going down?

I don't think there's much you do except for waiting, and avoiding vigorous masturbation. You haven't said what surgery you had, but if there's still swelling after 3 days, you should probably get a doctor to take a look though.

Not what you're looking for?
