    Purple testicular blood vessels may be a physiological phenomenon, and are also related to varicocele and scrotal eczema, which require symptomatic treatment.

    1. Physiological phenomena

    The blood vessels in the testicles are superficial veins, and the blood flow is not very sufficient. Purple blood vessels may appear. If there are no other abnormalities, no treatment is required.

    2. Varicocele

    The cause and pathogenesis of varicocele are not very clear. If the local veins are in a state of sustained high pressure for a long time, it may cause damage to the venous valves, easily causing scrotal enlargement, swelling pain and dull pain. It can also cause the blood vessels to turn purple. You can use sodium aescin for injection, flavonoid hydrochloride tablets and other drugs to treat it as directed by your doctor.

    3. Scrotal eczema

    Scrotal eczema may be caused by physical allergies and unreasonable design of underwear, which may lead to local eczema. If the condition relapses, it may cause thickening of the cuticle and pigmentation, making the blood vessels look purple. It can be treated with medications such as chlorpheniramine maleate tablets or loratadine dispersible tablets under the guidance of a doctor.
