Medical Video: How To Get Your Veins To Show | 6 Tricks To Look MORE Vascular
Usually tendon protruding or clearly visible on the surface of the skin is a problem that is often experienced by the elderly (elderly). This is because getting older, the skin layer will thin out so that the veins appear more clearly. However, what if the veins were still young in the hands, feet or neck? Are clearly prominent tendons a sign of a particular disease or condition? Check out the answer below.
The causes of tendons are prominent and clear
In most cases, veins that appear are not a serious or dangerous condition even though you are still young. Here are some reasons your veins are clearly visible on the surface of the skin.
1. Your skin tone is bright
If your skin color is bright or pale, your veins and veins tend to be more visible on the skin surface. Because the vein does have a distinctive blue, red, or purplish color so that it will look contrasted with your pale skin tone.
2. Thin body
People who are thin are also more prone to experience prominent tendons on the skin. The reason is that thin people have a thinner layer of fat than people in general. As a result, the skin and fat are not thick enough to cover the veins under the skin.
3. Sports
A protruding vein on the skin can also be caused by physical activity or exercise, especially lifting weights. If you often lift heavy weights or exercise that forms muscles, your blood vessels will receive heavy pressure. Because of this pressure, the veins tighten and protrude until they appear on the surface of the skin.
In addition, when you are exercising or doing physical activity that is quite heavy, hard-working parts of the body will require more oxygen. For this reason, blood which is a source of oxygen flows more heavily to these parts of the body. This is what makes your veins appear bigger and more prominent, especially in the arms.
4. Side effects or drug reactions
Certain medications can cause your veins to appear more prominent on the surface of the skin. Especially if you are undergoing treatment with drugs containing steroids. However, some drugs can also make your skin layer paler or thinner. As a result, the veins become clearer.
5. Pregnancy
Pregnant women experience an increase in blood vessel tissue. This is because during pregnancy, the volume of blood in the body increases to reach 50%. This increase is useful for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the fetus in the womb. Therefore, on the surface of your skin, the veins may become clearer and appear branched.
6. Varicose veins
Varicose veins occur when veins swell, especially in the legs. This condition is quite common, especially among women. Sometimes varicose veins are accompanied by pain. The causes can vary, ranging from heart valve disease, obesity, menopause, pregnancy, to the time standing up.
When should a prominent vein see a doctor?
In general, prominent tendons do not require certain medical treatment or treatment. However, you may need to see a doctor if you experience the following symptoms.
- Bleeding
- The veins become red, swollen, painful, and painful, especially when touched
- A rash appears on the skin
- Change in the color or texture of the skin surface (becoming more rough or soft)
