Strong, muscular arms with protruding veins are an integral part of the manly image. However, it is not uncommon for the ladies to discover that the veins on their hands began to look different, to strongly protrude, or to hurt. Such changes are caused by a number of factors.
Excessive thinness
At very thin girls because of a small amount of hypodermic fat veins on arms or hand act. In this case, there is probably no problem with the vascular system. Make veins less visible can be the easiest way - to gain a few pounds. Nevertheless, even in slender women, problems with veins can be caused by other factors listed below. If the vein on the arm hurts, the reason is definitely not thin. In this case, you should consult a phlebologist or an ordinary surgeon.
Varicose veins
In general, the diagnosis of varicose veins concerns the lower extremities. Phlebologists say that even if the vessels of the upper limbs look like in varicose veins, examining them under a microscope does not confirm the diagnosis, since there are no changes in the vessel walls that are characteristic of this disease. But the question arises, why then the veins on the arms act and swell, if there is nothing to do with varicose veins? Often ladies also complain of pain in the vessels.
These symptoms are usually recorded in patients whose work involves monotonous physical work with a load on the hands. This stagnation of blood in the limbs. It is noteworthy that if you lift your arms above your head, your pain and sense of heaviness will subside. Radical treatment, appropriate for varicose veins, in this case is dangerous. Therefore, phlebologists advise the ladies whose veins in their arms are swollen and aching, reconsider their workloads, introduce more dynamics and sports activities into the lifestyle, and change their activities. Help also wellness procedures: lymph drainage massage, hardening, cryogenic wraps, etc.

Pain in the vessels arises from the excessive load not only of a static nature, but also of a dynamic one. So in athletes, especially weightlifters, veins on whose hands are clearly visible, there may be a so-called effort thrombosis or Paget-Shreter syndrome. This condition is extremely rare, and women among patients are three times less than men.
To confuse an effort thrombosis with usual expansion of veins because of excessive loadings it is complex or difficult, as for this syndrome is characteristic also:
- edema of the upper part of the right (much less often - the left) shoulder and chest;
- blue skin.
The patient complains that the limb quickly becomes tired, as well as a feeling of constant heaviness in his hand. At the same time, the veins are especially distinct in the chest and in the upper part of the right arm. This condition requires urgent medical care.
Aging
Ladies wondering why the veins are visible on their hands should not miss the same factor as age changes in the skin. Over the years it becomes thinner, it becomes dry. Vessels at the same time begin to speak, because they say that it is the hands accurately give the age of the woman.
It is completely difficult to remove a cosmetic defect, however, supporting procedures aimed at
Other factors
If the veins on the arms hurt, the causes of this condition can also be related to the injuries that have been suffered, as a result of which the vessels have been damaged. Often, patients with atherosclerosis complain of unpleasant sensations in the veins. Such pain is characteristic for clogging of the vessel with a thrombus due to thromboangiitis, soft tissue damage, cardiovascular diseases. In this case, paleness and puffiness of the limb, a decrease in sensitivity is observed.
