There are, however, certain situations where these visible veins should not be taken lightly. Here are the signs not to ignore:
No apparent cause: You haven’t lost any weight or changed your routine, and yet… your veins suddenly pop out? This deserves a quick consultation.
Pain, heat, or swelling: These signs may indicate inflammation or poor circulation. In some rare cases, this may even suggest phlebitis, which should be checked immediately.
Hard or twisted veins: If they take on a rope-like appearance, this may be a sign of varicose veins or superficial thrombophlebitis (a small clot on the surface).
Changes in the surrounding skin: Itching, strange coloring, small sores… this may indicate chronic venous insufficiency.
Visible veins on the torso or stomach: This is rarer, but if it occurs without an obvious reason, it is best to check. Some internal conditions, such as liver disease, can manifest themselves this way.
The right reflex: listen to your body, without overreacting
