Question:

Is it normal to have veins visible in your legs? I'm not sure if they're just from working or they're normal?

I've noticed some veins popping out on the back of my calves and on the side of my calves. Also some bumps visible in the muscle when I walk. Is this normal from working out a fair bit or are they varicose veins.. They look like normal veins but I just wondered?


Answers:

Do you exercise quote a bit? Some instances varicose veins will occur. Although they may also occur whether you exercise or not. Some people have varicose veins when our there is a problen with poor circulation. Also they do show up for reasons that your doctor would be able to explain to you. The veins are visible and somtimes they are visible and bother you because of the appearance. These veins are usually broken vein or capillaries. They may produce blood clots, but this is unlikely. If these veins do burst, they canbe removed. Some time ago people with these veins had what is called, stripping the veins for removal. Nowt there are other options. If they seem noticeable to you and you feel self-conscious about them, a specialist could be able to "zap" them with a laser ususally hand-held machine and it does usually make them unnoticeable. If you are really self-conscious about them, please see your primary care doctor and he/she will be able to answer all your questions and refer you to a specialist. Then he may talk to you about the visible bumps that may not be serious but should be examined by the doctor at your appointment. I hope that this information has been informative to you.
