What Are Bulging Hand or Arm Veins?

On a normal hand or arm, your veins may be visible, but they don’t bulge or look twisted. Hand veins and arm veins are problems only when they become darker or protruding, with the veins popping out of your skin. The condition mostly causes just cosmetic concerns, but top vein doctors may also diagnose an underlying medical problem that requires treatment.

Veins transport oxygen-depleted blood from your body back to your lungs and heart. If you notice sudden bulging veins in the hands, visit the best vascular doctor in New York City: Dr. Sergei Sobolevsky. At the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center in Brooklyn, you meet Dr. Sobolevsky, an endovascular specialist who offers advanced treatments for a wide range of vein conditions.

What Causes Abnormal Hand and Arm Veins?

Various factors cause bulging veins in the hands or large veins on arms. You may have more than one cause that contributes to your vein condition. Some causes of bulging veins include:

• Low body fat. Low amounts of fat on your hands cause your hand veins to become more prominent. It especially strikes people who lose fat through dieting or exercise.
• As you grow older, your skin becomes thinner, which makes the veins underneath more visible. Your skin also loses elasticity. If your veins start to fail with valve malfunction, blood may pool in your veins. A swollen vein in the hands or arms may result.
• Hot weather. High temperatures cause your veins to dilate and become more visible. Hot weather also affects the function of valves in the veins, causing them to enlarge with blood and turn blue and twisty.
• Doctors recommend exercise to improve blood circulation and prevent multiple lifestyle-related diseases. But as you work out, more blood flows through your veins, including the ones in your hands. The increased blood pressure makes the veins larger and more visible. Regular extreme exercises make the bulging hand veins permanent.
• Hereditary factors. If you have someone in your family with bulging veins, you’re more likely to develop them too. Bulging veins in the hands don’t necessarily point to an underlying condition, but they are a cosmetic issue.
• Varicose veins. Varicose veins appear on your skin if the valves in the veins malfunction. Such valves don’t prevent backflow, which causes blood to collect in the veins. Varicose veins appear mostly in the legs, but you may get the twisty, enlarged veins on your hands.
• Superficial thrombophlebitis. This medical condition is an inflammation of a superficial vein caused by a blood clot. The inflammation causes bulging or enlargement of the affected vein.

While veins of the arm or the hand mostly cause cosmetic problems, it’s still recommended that you seek a diagnosis by a vein doctor to rule out any serious underlying issues. The Brooklyn-based Downtown Vein & Vascular Center has state-of-the-art diagnostics equipment for an accurate diagnosis and the latest medical technology for an effective treatment.
