I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

I've noticed this really large vein on the top side of my penis for the past few months, maybe more than a couple of years now. It's not painful, but it just seems off and looks quite pronounced.
