Q: Vein Protruding Causing Curved Penis?

Alright at the base of my penis shaft, for the past 5-6 or so years, while getting erect, there has been a bluish vein (?) that's visible running from the base of the shaft, slightly leftward, for another 3 inches or so down the shaft. I think I can isolate the incident as being trauma (?) one particular time I was masturbating 5-6 years ago, it just felt sore afterwards, and I temporarily had a kind of reddish rash on the left side of my shaft near the base. Also when this happened, my penis developed a slight left curve near the base of my shaft when I get an erection. But other than that, my penis has been able to function seemingly fine since the incident. No pain or anything... Still, I would be interested exactly to learn what happened...

Now i've done some looking and it seems "peyronie's disease" is the leading cause of bending in the penis. But it seems that this is mostly in older men, and I don't know if many of the symptoms apply to my case. Can anybody help? Particulary interested in information about the vein (artery?) that kind of bulges out of my shaft a little bit more than it did before.

Well first your talking about years...The male penis can change over years especially at the younger ages. The rash was most likely due to irritation from the masturbation, secondly the vein (?) is normal, I have the same thing. Now what you can do is look at a few pictures of pensis...Seiously. You will see everyone is completely different. If you think there could be a problem...Let your dr take a peek ^_^

You're right that peyronie's is usually in older men. I believe it is also usually caused by trauma a bit more severe than what you described if I am understanding your post right. It is also often painful. Curved penises and protruding veins are common, as color said. Two of the main things to worry about are pain and sudden changes. It sounds like you might have the sudden change, but not the pain? My guess would be that is probably nothing to worry about, but there's no harm in bringing it up to your doctor just in case.
