Hand and wrist veins bulge intermittently

[Lovingmylife]

I've noticed that the veins in my hands and wrists occasionally bulge and other times you can barely see them. I'm not particularly concerned but more observations and curious to see if anyone has experience of this and what causes it...

Probably dehydration. My hand veins get very prominent if I'm dehydrated.

Isn’t it just greater blood flow? So if you’re using your hand muscles a lot, more blood flows to and from the area which expands the arteries and veins hence you see them more

It could be when you change position. Veins fill up if your hands are below your heart and empty if you raise them

Position, temperature and hydration status

Thanks. That's interesting about hydration.
