Question 3

Question 7

what other type of doctor treat varicose veins since i cannot locate interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon on my ppo plan. advice?

Accepted Answer

Wear support hose: The reason to treat varicose veins is to prevent post phlebitis syndrome and painful enlargement of veins of leg.
The veins are usually removed by stripping or injections to clot the veins and are performed by a vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist.  The alternative is to wear compression socks when walking which collapse the veins and accomplish almost as much as surgery.

Question 8

can any doc explain why are my veins so blue and prominent?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The color of the veins has to do with the interaction between the color of blood within the veins(usually a dark red) and the color of your skin.Fair skin often has bluer veins, darker skin may have deep purple to brown appearing veins. Veins become prominent for many reasons:age(less subQ tissue), hydration level, salt intake, heat, and varicose veins are all potential causes of prominent veins.

Question 9

can any doc explain why are my veins so prominent all of a sudden?

Accepted Answer

Location matters: Location of the prominent veins matters. If it is all over(arms/hands/legs, etc), it may be related to increased fluid load (i.e. after having a high salt meal), or due to ambient high temperatures. Veins dilate(become prominent/bulge) to help regulate body temperature (cold makes them 'shrink'). If it is just in one body part(a leg/arm), they should be evaluated to make sure nothing else is wrong

Question 10

doctor trying to give a drip,vein too small now i'm swellen, is it a problem?

Accepted Answer

It will go down.: You should not worry the swelling should go down in time. In a day or two the body would absorb whatever got out to cause the swelling.
