Some people have 'blue veins bursting out' on their arms, while some people can hardly see the veins. Which is healthier?
The hand is one of the most distinctive organs of the human body.
Scientists believe that the hand is one of the three important organs that allow people to have a high degree of intelligence. The other two organs are the eyes, which can sense three-dimensional space, and the brain, which processes information from the hands and eyes.
The human hand has gradually evolved over 4 million years of evolution into the most perfect tool that nature can create.
The important structures of the hand can be divided into the following categories: bones and joints. Ligaments and tendons. Muscles. Nerves.
Well, for the attentive person: in life, I believe that many people will have a very common thing on the back of their hands, that is, there is a full "blue vein" on their arm.
Some people have "blue veins" on their arms and some people can hardly see the veins. Which one is healthier?
Generally speaking, thin people. People with fair skin and thin skin will have more obvious and protruding intimacy on their hands. Usually, such people are easy to hang when hanging water, because tendons are easier to find.
Those who are heavier may have less obvious blue veins on their hands, which have no adverse health effects and will not interfere with daily life.
The green tendon of the arm is multi-digital superficial vein, and the reasons for the bulge can be divided into physiological and pathological. The physiological cause mainly occurs in people with large upper limb activities, thin body, generally no obvious clinical symptoms, and no special treatment.
Pathological causes are common in the following two situations:
Abnormal blood circulation in the upper arm, mainly including varicose veins, etc., there may be obvious suffocation when the arm sags, and the color ultrasound of the upper extremity blood vessels can confirm the diagnosis.
Malignant tumors of the upper extremities, when malignant tumors appear, can cause local superficial venous anger, often accompanied by local swelling and pain, and local skin temperature is high. This situation is more serious and requires prompt symptomatic treatment.
It is mentioned in the "Huangdi Neijing" that "therefore, the meridians can determine survival, treat all diseases, regulate weakness, and cannot be blocked".
People with blue veins in their hands may suffer from "damp phlegm and poison rash" in the body.
If you have chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness in hands and feet, dizziness and other symptoms for a long time, the situation of hyperlipidemia in the body is relatively serious. From now on, you should pay attention to the maintenance of blood vessels.
Who are prone to bulging veins?
elderly
With age, fat shrinks and skin becomes thinner. Muscle atrophy does not support and confine the veins better, making the veins appear thicker.
You can take a close look at the back of the hand and the temple in older people. The green tendon is visible to the naked eye. It is worth reminding that the green tendon protrusion is accompanied by edema, pain and ulceration and requires immediate medical attention.
overworked crowd
In the case of overwork, the phenomenon of blue veins will also appear, which is the cause of the blue veins in men.
Overwork can lead to increased stress on the body, which can lead to increased pressure in the veins, which can block the flow of blood in the veins, leading to the eruption of blue veins.
thin person
It is often found that green tendons are particularly noticeable on the hands of thin people. At this time, blood vessels can easily emerge through the skin due to less subcutaneous fat. In addition, thin people have a faster metabolism, and blood vessels will be relatively obvious.
In addition, people with a relatively obese body have thicker subcutaneous fat, so the veins in the body are easily blocked by subcutaneous fat and cannot appear.
So, with or without veins, which is healthier?
Regarding the problem of blue veins, there are many medical conditions. You can also judge the internal problems of the body by observing the position of the blue veins.
However, the internal structure of the body is extremely complex, and it is difficult to draw conclusions from the blue veins. If you think you may have a physical problem, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Therefore, there may not be a completely accurate answer as to which of the two conditions is healthier. There are many factors that affect the body's various tissues, organs, tissues and cells to maintain human health and longevity. It cannot be judged solely by whether the veins are raised.
But if this kind of problem often occurs in daily life, the pathological factors of the body must be ruled out first.
If there is no such underlying disease, or whether the blood is sticky, or the instinctive reaction caused by prolonged physical labor or incorrect posture.
Then, if you have protruding green tendons the day after tomorrow and don't usually do heavy work or exercise, you should go to the hospital to be safe. After scientific inspection, you will get the correct answer.
