A member asked:
My dad has been throwing up blood, everytime his stomach hurts. and his leg has a big swollen vein that pops out, what could all this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See vein specialist: A swollen leg vein may be a varicose vein or it could be a clotted vein. It is difficult to determine from what you describe. Clotted superficial veins are usually tender and this is called superficial phlebitis. Varicose veins are usually not tender. Regardless, either type of vein is not normal. You should see a vein specialist for a full venous evaluation.
