The veins on my body are becoming more and more obvious. What's going on?

Blue veins are very normal for many people because they are found in many parts of the body. However, because everyone's physique is different, the manifestations of blue veins are also different. Some people's blue veins will be particularly obvious, and if this continues for a long time, it will make people particularly worried about whether there is a problem in the body. So what is going on why the blue veins on people's bodies are becoming more and more obvious?

1. Blue veins

The so-called blue veins are what are called subcutaneous veins in medicine. Blue veins usually appear when a person is under the control of some extreme emotions, such as anger or excitement, and some obvious physical signs will appear one after another at this time. For example, the heartbeat accelerates, the arteries and veins become congested, and the body surface becomes red. Then you can see the veins under the skin dilating, which is what we call blue veins popping out. This is a normal phenomenon and usually occurs in young people who are strong and healthy. You don't need to worry.

2. Face

When the blue veins on the temples are bulging (note that they are bulging), it often indicates dizziness and headache; when the blue veins on the temples are bulging and twisted, it indicates cerebral arteriosclerosis; when they are purple and black, it is easy to have a stroke. Blue veins on the bridge of the nose indicate gastrointestinal stagnation, which can lead to stomach pain, bloating, indigestion, and difficulty in defecation. The situation is more serious if it is purple. Blue veins at the corners of the mouth and under the cheeks often indicate gynecological diseases, heavy vaginal discharge, fatigue, weakness in the waist and knees, and rheumatism in the lower limbs.

3. Others

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that no matter where the blue veins appear abnormally in the human body, it is an alarm signal from the body, reflecting that the human body may be suffering from diseases such as phlegm, dampness, blood stasis, and toxins that cannot be excreted from the body. As we age, subcutaneous fat decreases, the tissue around blood vessels shrinks, and the compliance of blood vessels decreases, so veins become more and more visible. Generally speaking, it is more common in men than in women, in the elderly than in the young, during exercise than when at rest, and in thin people than in fat people. When you exert yourself or get angry, your muscles become tense, your blood pressure rises, and your blood vessels become more prominent, hence the saying that "blue veins bulge out."
