female why does veins always stick out alot and never go back in the skin they stay bulging out?

Answers:
As we age, and as the veins respond to the influence of hormones and heredity, and to other factors such as straining or prolonged standing, the veins tend to dilate to a larger diameter, which can trigger a series of permanent changes in the vessels and surrounding tissues. Normally, the blood in the veins can only flow in one direction (toward the heart) because of a series of one-way valves built into the vein walls. If the vein becomes too dilated, these valves can no longer function to prevent backflow, and then certain areas of the body no longer enjoy normal venous drainage. This is especially common in leg veins, because the difference in altitude between the legs and the heart makes gravity work against normal blood return.

Certain veins, called perforators, communicate between the shallow veins just beneath the skin, and the deep veins, protected beneath the tough envelope which surrounds muscles. If the perforators become dilated, and their valves fail, then the full pressure of muscle contraction is transmitted to the more fragile shallow veins.

The abnormal high pressure leaking from the deep vein system strongly affects the thin walls of these shallow veins. They gradually enlarge in diameter and also stretch in length in response to the extra pressure. This causes bulging and coiling in small veins (spiders) and in larger veins (varicosities). These vessels become permanently damaged, and carry blood very inefficiently. They become more of a hindrance than a help to the circulation of your blood.

Left untreated, the larger varicose veins (greater than 3-4 mm diameter) can develop spontaneous phlebitis or blood clots, with a risk of possible pulmonary embolism (blood clots which break free and are pumped into the lungs.) Also, untreated venous insufficiency can inflame and damage nearby skin and tissue and cause swelling, skin breakdown and open sores with ulceration and scarring.

I find that eating more often helps.
