A member asked:

My hands appear to have larger than normal swollen veins. slight discomfort. i just had an u/s that is leading me to think i'm having another mc. are these related? is the hand issue an emergency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt if there is: Doubt if there is anything wrong here. Prominent veins are common especially in those who do hard physical work outs or engage in lifting weights. I do not know what is mc. I would advise you not to use such abbreviations as they mean different things to different folks.
