A member asked:
I have very large veins on top of my feet and hands. what will happen if it's ever cut? those on my feet can be traced up to my ankle bone
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Apply firm pressure : To the cut and elevate the extremity. Veins will generally contract and clot quickly with this technique, but any major cut needs evaluation. A cut artery is under significant pressure and is harder to stop the bleeding.
