Will bulging veins stop if I discontinue push ups?

Increasing pressure in the veins such as what occurs with exercise will increase the size of arm and hand veins.  The most common cause of these veins, however, is genetics followed by loss of skin elasticity.  Stopping the straining may improve the veins but they will not go away.  If you want to eradicate the veins, a combination of laser and sclerotherapy will work.

These are a reflection of straining and tensing abdominal muscles which backs up blood temporarily and causes upper extremity veins to become prominent. Not likely to go away if you stop push ups but stopping may stop them from getting larger. Remember that they probably look larger because you lost weight in these areas - this may be another factor.Dr H Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
