[|Human|] Hello, I have recently discovered a discomfort coming from a vein on the left side of my penis above the left testicle directly on my penis towards the base. It causes a sharp pain when touched and feels to be a little hard. I am a 19 year old very active athlete and I weight lift everyday regularly as well as participate in team sports. The day this pain became noticeable was the day after I was doing heavy weight on squats during my leg day, followed by football, and indoor soccer. The vein is noticeable, but isnt too severely swollen. The pain is tolerable, but has raised some concerns. Did I overwork myself and possibly cause this? I am wondering what it is and what I should do. Thank you
