You must have often seen that some people have large worm-like bulging blue veins on one side of their abdomen or both sides. Whether these cluster-like raised blue veins are on the abdomen or on any part of the body, do not consider them normal but take them seriously, otherwise you may have to suffer the consequences due to negli- gence. These raised blue veins appearing on the skin in an abnormal manner indicate various diseases developing inside the body. Therefore, take the portru-ding blue veins on any part of the body seriously and immediately consult a vascular and cardio vascular surgeon.
Why do these raised veins appear on your body?
These raised blue veins are a network of veins located on the superficial surface of the body, which under normal circumstances do not bulge much on the skin and are connected to the system of large deep veins located inside the body. The network of veins located on the superficial surface collects impure blood from the outer surface and sends it to the system of large veins located deep inside the body, from where all the impure blood is collected and reaches the lungs for purification via the heart. If due to some reason there is a blockage in the system of deep veins inside the body, then it is unable to accept the blood coming from the outer surface, due to which the impure blood remains stagnant in the inner surface of the skin. When stagnant blood in the surface of skin increases in amount, blue veins start appearing in large quantity by bulging above the skin.
Chronic blood clots cause blue veins on your abdomen
If there is a sudden accumulation of blood clots in the deep veins located inside the abdomen like iliac veins and inferior venacava or IVC and due to irregular or no treatment in the initial days, these blood clots will permanently settle in the deep system of veins, then the path provided by this deep venous system for the impure blood to rise upwards is blocked.
