What Causes Small Swelling Of A Vein In Left Hand?

Question: I have what feels like a small bubble in a vein in my left hand near the wrist. sore to touch but generally ok during the day
Brief Answer:
Does not seem to be worrisome
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This seems to be a normal valve in the vein. Should not be a cause for concern. However, if the size increases or pain develops then it may be blood clot formation. This also usually resolves on its own.
In that event you can see a doctor and get the doubt cleared for good.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries, if any.
