5 Health Conditions That Can Cause Visible Veins

2. Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are a popular vein disorder that can cause veins—particularly in the legs and sometimes in the arms—to become visibly swollen and twisted. While often considered a cosmetic issue, they may also signal underlying vein dysfunction.

You may spot:

Dark blue or purple veins that are raised or bulging
Burning, itching, or throbbing around the veins
Cramping or fatigue in the affected limb
Risk factors include genetics, pregnancy, obesity, and long hours of standing.
3. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT is a serious condition where a bl00d clot forms in a deep vein, typically in the leg or thigh. Though the clot is not always visible, some cases may lead to prominent or bulging surface veins because of blocked blood flow.

Warning signs include:

Sudden swelling in one leg
Pain or tenderness, often starting in the calf
Skin that’s red or warm to the touch
DVT is potentially life-threatening because a clot can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Immediate medical attention is required.

4. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
