A member asked:
Is it normal to feel palpable vein/artery structures in the groin/thigh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always.: Those structures are definitely there, but they are not usually very obvious. There can be some serious conditions that affect the blood or lymph flow that can make these structures easily palpable. An evaluation by a healthcare worker is important to see if this is normal or not.
