Some people have 'blue veins bursting out' on their arms, while some people can hardly see the veins. Which is healthier?
Introduction: The hand is unique in human anatomy.
The hand needs enough dexterity to control the fingers and thumb. The normal function of the hand is based on proper strength. Completing fine motor skills also requires the cooperation of the hands. All parts of the hand are properly arranged and coordinated to function properly.
The composition of the hand and how the various parts of the hand coordinate with each other.
The important structures of the hand can be divided into bones and joints. Ligaments and tendons. Muscles. Nerves.
Of course, there is a very common thing on the back of many people's hands in life, that is, there is a very common thing, "blue veins".
The hand is a very important part of the human body. We can find that some people have very obvious blue veins on their hands, and some people have less obvious blue veins.
Some people think that blue veins are obviously a sign of health, and people who are not obvious may have some diseases.
is it right? Is a person's health expressed through the veins? In addition to the hands, other parts of the human body also have blue veins. What signals do these parts represent? Let's step into the article.
What is a vein:
The blue veins on the arm obviously indicate that the blood backflow of the arm is blocked, the blood vessel backflow is not smooth, and the increase of the pressure in the tube will manifest as varicose, protrusion, etc.
These are some physiological wastes in the human body, such as blood stasis, dampness, heat toxin, stagnation, etc., which cannot be metabolized. When the arm is exerted, the muscles contract, the pressure increases, and part of the blood returns to the blood vessels to fill the blood vessels.
And because the skin of the arm is thinner, the superficial veins appear in the superficial layer, and the blue veins burst out. These are normal phenomena.
In layman's terms:
Don't mistake "Blue Vein" for the tendon of the human body just because we call it "Blue Vein". Many people misunderstand the term "blue veins".
In fact, "blue veins" are blood vessels in our body, or it is more suitable for vein blood vessels, usually on the surface of the skin, so we can see it.
So, don't take it as a meridian in the future!
Some people have "blue veins bursting out" on their arms, and some people can hardly see the veins. Which one is healthier?
The bulging blue veins on people's hands usually refer to the dilation of blood vessels in the veins of the hands, mainly seen in men. It is more common in people who have been engaged in sports or heavy physical labor for a long time.
In general, varicose veins of the upper extremities do not cause too serious pathological consequences, so no special treatment is required. The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:
Physiological:
Physical reasons may be due to congenital factors. Some people are congenitally developed and have thicker blood vessels;
Due to frequent physical exercise or heavy physical labor, the vasodilation is obvious, and the compensatory vasodilation;
Generally thinner, the subcutaneous fat on the hands is thinner, so the varicose blood vessels are more exposed.
Pathological:
For example, some patients can see many tortuous cyan veins, clinically known as varicose veins.
Some patients can observe many raised, curved veins in the abdomen. At this point, portal hypertension is usually caused by cirrhosis of the liver, leading to obstruction of venous return, resulting in blue veins.
When the above pathological conditions occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis and treatment to relieve the primary disease.
So, which one is healthier?
This cannot be generalized and there is no precise answer. There are many factors that affect the various tissues and organs of the body, and it is not possible to judge right from wrong only by the blue veins.
However, both physiological and pathological are possible. In addition to excluding physiologically induced instinctive reactions, we should also consider the existence of pathological factors, such as some underlying diseases, such as whether the blood is thick or not, is also possible.
