When should I call my healthcare provider about my bulging veins?

If you notice any new bulging veins, call your provider and schedule an exam. Your bulging veins might be harmless. But getting them checked will ensure nothing serious is going on. Your provider will gently feel your veins and may suggest an ultrasound to check for blood clots.

If you notice the following issues with your bulging veins, call your provider right away:

• Bleeding.
• Discoloration or redness.
• Pain.
• Feeling warm to the touch.
• Swelling around the area of your vein.

These signs could indicate a more serious problem.
