Title: Regarding Veiny Hands and Feet and Upper Body Body Mass
Post by: jenasianbeauty on August 06, 2010, 05:10:56 PM
Hello Everyone! I have been on HRT for 3 months now and so far so good. Prior to HRT I was lifting weights  and  gym rat. I am 27, 5'6, 130lbs. Slim now but left with bulging veins on my hands and feet. I asked about Sclerotherapy but doctor said this was not an option for me.

Will HRT improve the appearance of bulging veins on hands and feet? I am slim from the waist down but I don't like my upper body :-( Will HRT feminize this specific area?

Please help.

yes..HRT will feminise muscles and as the muscles are 'artificial' they may disappear quite quick...same goes for the big veins.
I was looking at female bodybuilders yesterday and OMG! all those veins sticking out like rampant kudzu...awful sights.

I have veins sticking out of my hands and feet and I get that from my mom. So I don't think of it as a masculine feature. I mean I guess it is, but I don't mind it :P

strange as this may sound, Preperation H will diminish or even rid you of big or varicose veins and red spidery marks.

You will also get fat redistribution with HRT, so the veins will show less as they will be covered under a layer of fat.

Really Preparation H? Sounds a bit odd but if this has helped you, please explain how?

Hemorrhoids are basically varicose veins only inside. It works the same way for ones on the outside. Just use it like a skin cream where the veins appear.

Hmmm, good stuff to know. I have a few varicose veins around my legs and it's very frustrating because I think out of all the things I have going for me, my legs are it. Women are constantly telling me I have great legs. However, all those little spider veins are driving me nutty. Granted I haven't started femones yet ( I will start in the next few weeks), so I am looking forward to seeing how HRT will affect me and my legs.
