Accepted Answer

: Keeping the tourniquet for longer than a minute or so can make the blood look darker. If the results of blood tests are okay, do not be concerned about the color of blood, especially if it was red earlier.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 3

what caus green vein on the legs

Accepted Answer

Reticular veins: The green veins in your legs are called reticular veins.  They are veins that are bigger than spider veins but smaller than varicose veins.  They are green because of where they are--just below the surface of the skin. Veins that are in the skin or on top of the skin are purple and red.  Usually reticular veins are flat and smooth but if they are bulgy and bumpy they are becoming varicose veins.

Accepted Answer

Just take a test: Don't guess. Take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

Question 10

hi 
just had a baby 10 weeks ago i can see normal green veins all over my body . what can i do to hide these there not nice. look like a road map?

Accepted Answer

Varicose Veins: Sometimes during or after pregnancy, the veins can become distended due to increase blood volume and hormonal changes that occur.  Unfortunately, I am not aware of any non-invasive treatments for them.  Depending on size and location, sclerosis of the vessels can be done (scarring them down with chemicals or laser light).  Speak with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
