I'm 16 and have been masturbating quite a bit, sometimes up to three times a day. I've noticed that the veins on my penis are becoming more pronounced and seem to be multiplying. Every day, a new vein seems to pop up, and a couple of them are really thick and very visible, even when I'm not aroused. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

I've been having trouble since last week with my penis not getting hard enough during sex. I can still enter it into the vagina, but I end up discharging very quickly. I've been married for two years, and this issue just started nowit didn't happen for the first 20 months. I've been taking Scelepra 10 mg daily, as my psychiatrist suggested, because I had a similar problem right after getting married. I'm wondering if this is a physical or psychological issue, and should I consider doing any tests or changing medications?
