What Causes Bulging Vein In The Body?
Hii doc!! my mother is nearly 46 yrs old and recently I have began to notice her vein coming out and at the end of vein there is a slight swollen part and I am not sure whether it is just a vein or some kind of lump. I am quite worried that she may not have developed any kind of cancer. she never smoked took alcohol or meat. once she has suffered from typhoid fever 6-7 yrs ago
