If you have visible veins, it means you are…

Poor circulation typically produces symptoms such as numbness, cold extremities, swelling, or pain rather than simply visible veins.

When Visible Veins May Be a Medical Concern

Although visible veins are usually harmless, there are certain situations where they may signal an underlying vein condition.

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear in the legs. They occur when valves inside the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing properly back toward the heart. Symptoms may include aching, heaviness, swelling, or itching around the veins.
