Noticeable Veins In Leg, Reason And Treatment?
I am 32 years old female. 5 5 height and 138 pounds. Six months ago, I noticed veins poping out on my left leg upper calf near the knee . Now the veis are getting more noticable. I am a healthy individual who works out 3-4 times a week (cardio and weight). Would you please advise the reasons behind this issue and if there are any treatments available

Hi there...
It seems that you have varicose veins that can be because of abnormal veins valve or pressure in or around veins,you should get doppler ultrasound of that area and consult vascular surgeon.
