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 feeling a bit self-conscious about my manhood. I'm 32 and though I have decent length, it's the thickness that's really got me concerned. Are there any supplements out there that could help with increasing the thickness?

While there are no scientifically proven supplements that can significantly increase the thickness of the penis, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking can support overall sexual health. If you're concerned, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider to explore safe and effective options.
