Question 1

bursted vein in arm, is it okay?

Accepted Answer

It is ok.: Trauma to an area will many times cause a vein to be injured and burst resulting in bleedind from the vein into the surrounding tissues resulting in a black and blue mark.  This is called ecchymosis.  Over a week or so this will slowly resolve.  This  is a normal occurrence .  If, however, you have recurrent spontaneous bleeding without trauma then you should see a hematologist.

Question 2

what causes vein in arm to pop out and hurt?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Veins return blood back to the heart and  can carry a large volume of blood.  Depending on many factors including levels of hydration,  genetics, outside temperature and even physical activity, the size of the veins will vary.  Another important function of the veins is to help control body temperature and this too will affect vein size.  Also with aging, veins enlarge as tissue volume decreases.

Question 3

is removing something from arm and vein dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Need info: Do you mean take something out of an arm vein? Or do you mean take out one of your arm veins?  We usually just take blood out of a vein or put medicine in a vein or sometimes remove unhealthy veins. Please explain.

Question 4

what does it mean when a green vein is showing on your arm?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: Veins can appear blue or even green depending on skin color and depth of the veins and subcutaneous fat.  I wouldn't worry about this at all.

Question 5

why is it that after i had a bloodtest in my arm i started to feel the vein move?

Accepted Answer

Vein/needle did move: Most likely you felt movement induced by both a combination of the needle & your response. Larger veins are below skin, not fixed to skin and can move; allows our skin/body to move with differential stretching/compression. The vein can easily slide sideways in response to the needle tip, esp if not very sharp, or esp if aimed a little off center; more common. Good phlebotomists work to compensate.

Question 6

green veins on arms?

Accepted Answer

Appearance: They may appear green or blue through your skin color. It is normal even though our blood in our veins is red.

Question 7

what are reasons why the veins in my arms are so prominent?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal.: Veins can enlarge and shrink for many reasons most commonly levels of hydration, genetics, aging, sun exposure, temperature changes and even skin color being more prominent in fair skinned people.  Most commonly what you are experiencing is a normal variation but you probably should see a vein specialist for a full venous evaluation so that they could examine you and answer all of your questions.

Question 8

why am i having bumps in veins in arms?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Veins return blood back to the heart and  can carry a large volume of blood.  Depending on many factors including levels of hydration,  genetics, outside temperature and even physical activity, the size of the veins will vary.  Another important function of the veins is to help control body temperature and this too will affect vein size.  Also with aging, veins enlarge as tissue volume decreases.

Question 9

how to get more noticible veins in arm area?

Accepted Answer

Do you want more?: If you want to see more veins, people with low body  fat who lift weights seem to dilate their blood vessels more over time so you can see them, as well as long distance runners  where gravity plays a role. If you want to hide or slow down the progression of noticeable veins- some people use compression sleeves while running or lifting weights to control the dilatation.

Question 10

why do the veins in my arm appear when i write for a long time?

Accepted Answer

As you use: the muscles in your forearm/hand blood circulation increases! This blood resturn to your heart using the VEINS! That is most probably the reason they seem more prominent!
Hope this helps!
