What does it mean when you can see veins in palms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen hand veins.: Hand veins can swell for many reasons but the most common is certainly hereditary . Other factors would be level of hydration, aging, sun exposure and loss of elasticity and volume. Actually, I am amazed at the amount of women that i see with bulging hand veins. Hand veins and especially palm hand veins are usually normal variations. See a vein specialist if worried.
