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?

3 months and 15 days ago I had hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh but now I have pain in the circular area is this normal or could there be a problem

It's possible that the pain you're experiencing is normal post-surgery, but it's crucial to consult with your doctor to rule out any complications. While some pain is expected after hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh, it should typically decrease over time. If the pain persists or worsens, especially in a circular area, it could indicate a problem like nerve damage, inflammation, or even mesh-related issues
