A member asked:
Please tell me what causes bulging veins in your feet and hands?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Engorged veins: The flow of blood can be impeded or backed up causing the veins, the more elastic vessels, to expand; raise arms and elevate legs to reduce the engorged vessels. Long periods of standing, working, exercise, and fluid volume intravascularly contribute to flow fluctuations and size of veins. Long-standing expansion can cause vein weakness and chronic stasis or phlebitis.

Veins: Unfortunately , a bit more history is needed. See your family doc or vascular specialist.
