Common Questions and Answers about Varicose veins in your arms

varicose-veins

After a little bit of feeling around I found that the pain was from on vein in my arm. Most of the pain is around the bicep and usually only when I try to extend the arm, but if I run my finger down the vein it will hurt (a mild pain) but it doesn't feel/look swollen. Not sure what to make of this...

have you had any needles in that area lately? it could possibly be phlebitis(inflamed vein with or without infection) or a varicose vein.

for few mounths i have had veins apperer on my back back of arms tops legs and backicly everywhere cant see without mirror and the back ones you can feel easy and some look like rash and i have few bruse type things on top of leg and stomach and went for blood test liver and that all fine and i dont drink smoke and im adverage weight im 18 what is wrong

The bruising could come with inflammation too.

PT,APTT,fibrinogen levels ,Protein C and S, duplex ultrasonography of chest,color Doppler,venography and chest MRI. Other possibility is of varicose veins. Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted.They are common in the superficial veins of the legs but can be present in arms also. Confirmatory tests are Doppler ultrasound and angiogram. I sincerely advise you to get it confirmed from a vascular surgeon. Hope it helps.

oops sorry i left that out. yes i am..

my veins on my bbs definately became more prominent, looks like a freaking road map! but mine are blue veins much like the ones in your arms...not the purpley ones..but that was one of my first signs..

Its is also normal for your veins to become less prominent when your arms are elevated. I suspect that your problem is related to weight loss Please inform if you have additional symptoms beyond the visual changes.

They tied them and pulled them out, not nice and leaves a lot of bruising, not something i want to rush back too!

So, when your hands are down, the blood easily flows downward through your arteries into your arterioles and capillaries and then starts the return to your heart through your veins to be reoxygenated via the lungs, then pumped back out of your heart to your arterial system once again.

Hello, From the symptoms it looks like this is a varicose vein of penis. The varicose vein on the penis may bruise during sexual intercourse and thus wearing of a condom is highly recommended.Also use of lubricants is recommended during masturbation or during sexual intercourse to avoid bruising the vein. No other treatment is required.In fact most of the treatment like laser treatment will cause scarring,infection,nerve and vascular damage.

Have any of you noticed that your veins are more visible? Since December the veins in my arms, hands, chest, breasts, lower abdomen, and legs are a lot more noticable. I am not too concerned, but it looks creepy and started all of the sudden. I am drinking a lot of water now, but when it started I wasn't. I am just curious if this is part of fibro or just another weird/random symptom. Thanks!

I've had this since november, it doesn't really seem to be getting worse, but I am very self-concious about it and have not been with anyone since. I'm thinking they are varicose veins which would explain the deflated head and inflated shaft, but I think tiny busted cappilaries coming off the v.v.'s are causing the bruising. I wish there was something I could do but I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'm screwed for life, which really, really sucks.

The vein/vessel is greenish sort of colour just like the colour of veins on the arm near the wrist. it is visible when penis is flaccid and i notice that it actually becomes less protuding when penis starts to enlarge. i have touched it and there is no pain from it nor is there any blueish colouration on penis to indicate any bruise. But i must tell that this started to happen when i did p.e . i did stretch penis but i don't think i overdid it and i even warmed up my penis before it.

from the bottom on the condom is and I'm concerned maybe it has pinched a nerve or something serious. I have heard about varicose veins in the penis, but I have seen vericose veins before, on legs, etc. This one vein in particular (the one on the left side) is so bright in color and it sticks out like a vein in a weight-lifter's arm. I feel like it must be something other than that. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

I never rub them as I'm afraid they will get a clot. I have varicose and spider veins in my legs but the veins that do this are in my hands, arms, head, etc and are not varicose or spider. Also sometimes my legs will hurt and ache so bad. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Myrtle: None of the symptoms you describe sounds like a blood clot.

While you are standing with your arms held quietly at your side, you may be able to see the veins in your chest and arms. Distended veins are raised above the surface of the skin so that they are very noticeable. When veins are distended while you are in a position that is not affected by gravity this is often a sign of disease. An example of this would be if the veins in your legs were distended while sitting with your legs resting on a footrest.

Thanks, doctornee medical. Wasn't aware varicose veins occurred in the arms. I've added "no veins showing, no discoloration" to my text description, also. Have been checked for diabetes. Am following up on your suggestion of hypothyroidism.

At the time of onset, I was suffering from extreme tendinitis in both elbows) I've always been pale, so you could see light traces of veins beneath my skin. But when my veins in my arms become engorged, they are remarkably different - they're so swollen that if I do not relieve the pressure, I am eventually physically unable to make a fist. At the beginning, each occurrence was quite painful. (And sufficiently frightening, obviously.

2 veins, one coming up each side. They also seem to be growing slowly. I also have very prominent veins in my arms, hands and feet. My legs and feet get very soar when I stand still and I almost always need to put my feet up after walking. I am very healthy, active and not overweight. My mother had vericose veins but nothing to the extent that I do. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestion on what else I could try to fix the problem?

I have been looking into this a lot myself and found out about spider veins and varicose veins and I think that is what they are. I have just begun a new birth control pill after some problems with my hormone levels and am also on the end of my recent period - could this be causing it? I read that it can if you are on the pill and have imbalanced hormones - such as being pregnant or on your period. Will they fade or disappear when my hormone levels are balanced?

These could be fragile spider veins or even varicose veins. Excess pressure can cause this. Maybe your son should stop using weights and consult a sports specialist and train in weights first. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

This appears to be due to incompetent valves in deep veins of hands or varicose veins. You need to consult a surgeon for examination. You will have to undergo a duplex ultrasound of the veins to confirm the diagnosis. Hyperhidrosis, raynaud’s phenomenon are other possibilities and connective tissue disorders like scleroderma, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE etc. will have to be checked for. Hope this helps. Take care.

Some of the medical conditions that can lead to the formation of blood clots are heart ailments and diseases, infections, cancer, autoimmune disorders (lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), bleeding disorders (hemophilia), inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), history of varicose veins or other vascular diseases, pregnancy, high blood pressure (hypertension) and stroke. Aside from these, blood clots can also come as a result of other factors.

With varicose veins heat will tend to increase vein distention and lead to more pooling of blood so that makes sense why heat makes this even more unpleasant but I dont have varicose veins in my arms, or visible ones any where, which if this was varicose you'd expect to find some evidence.

The most common local conditions that cause edema are varicose veins and thrombophlebitis (a blood clot with inflammation of the veins) of the deep veins of the legs. These conditions can cause inadequate pumping of the blood by the veins (venous insufficiency).

A few months ago I noticed swelling in my thighs. Two weeks ago the swelling turned painful. Varicose veins or small red veins popped up. It seemed like they popped up overnight! By morning the swelling is gone and I feel normal. One night I lost sensation in my left arm and had tingling there. It subsided as soon as I rested and the pressure was off my legs. I took asprin because I am afraid of blood clotting and since I take the pill I know it may lead to blood clots.
