A member asked:

My bf had a large swollen vein on the side of his head, it went away after a couple of hours, this is at least the 2nd time this has happened.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: What was your bf doing before the vein became swollen? If he did any exercise, including sex, then that would be a normal response, including the disappearance of the prominent vein.
