Vas deferens thicker when standing?

Hello, I tried to feel my vas deferens, and I noticed that they become much thinner and harder when lying down than when standing. When lying down, they are barely thicker than the vein next to them. But when standing, they are thicker. So, I'm not sure if those are really the vas deferens I felt. Is swelling when standing normal?

This can be possible if the supplying arteries get an increased pressure due to the change in position of the body.

Similar to the veins in your hands, when you let your arms hang, they will emerge a little more.
