A member asked:

Hi dr im 34male from india. i have a swollen vein below wrist joint on my left hand. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: if it is not warm, tender or painful, it is probably of no concern . Are you sure it is a vein? Sometimes a ganglion cyst can push up from behind and make the vein more prominent. If it bothers you, you should have it examined but it is probably nothing to worry about.
