Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination. Overweight is often associated with prominent or varicose veins. Lowing weight is imperative, not easy, but essential.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

what can i do about all my blue veins showing in legs?

Accepted Answer

See a vein expert: The good news is you are not stuck with those blue veins.  Depending on their size, they can be very effectively treated with sclerotherapy (for small veins), phlebectomy (for med size veins) and endovenous ablation for the larger veins.  All of these procedures can be done in an outpatient office.  See an experienced vein specialist for evaluation so they can determine which treatment is best!

Question 5

Anatomy: It does not sound normal. New and prominent veins could represent obstruction of deeper veins and represent something significant. Please have your family doctor take a look.
