Question

After sitting at home all day, I noticed that the veins on my feet appeared more delicate and were accompanied by pain. I would like to inquire about the possible causes and solutions.

Answer

Based on the description, prolonged inactivity may lead to slow venous return in the lower limbs, which can cause varicose veins or edema, and in severe cases, thrombosis. The bulging veins on the feet accompanied by pain may be due to long-term standing. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, apply cold compresses locally, avoid severe exercise, and reduce prolonged standing. If symptoms do not improve, seek medical examination promptly.
