A member asked:
I have swollen veins on the right upper thigh could you tell me what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen veins: can be due to decreased circulation most commonly. It can happen incidentally after pregnancy, weight gain or even decreased activity. Some patients are more susceptible to getting them genetically than others. If you are concerned or in pain you should have an exam done!
