Blood Sample Vessels ProblemSometimes due to illness and sometimes during health checkup, people often give blood samples in their life. In the process of taking a blood sample, many times it happens that despite several attempts, the doctor taking the sample is unable to find your vein. Despite trying many times, it becomes difficult for some people to find their vein. In such a situation, the risk of a person getting injured increases if the needle is inserted at the wrong place. Why does this happen, why do some people’s veins get lost while taking blood samples? Is there any disease behind the disappearance of veins? Let us know here.
Why does it become difficult to find a vein while giving a blood sample?
Doctors blame lack of water and stress in the body for this. Doctor Whiteley, Consultant Venous Surgeon at The Whiteley Clinic, England, says that mental stress and lack of water in the body i.e. dehydration can be held responsible for this. He says that sometimes the reason for this can be the vein being too deep in the skin or the vein being excessively thin.
Stress is a big reason
Among its external causes, lack of water and stress can be considered the main reasons because when stress prevails, the veins shrink and it becomes difficult to find them. When there is a lot of stress, even the face becomes pale due to shrinking of the veins. Similarly, when there is a lack of water in the body, the amount of blood flowing in the veins decreases, the veins shrink and it becomes difficult to find them.
Temperature can also be the reason
There could be another reason for this and that is temperature. Yes, when the body temperature is high, the size of the veins expands and the veins expand and try to reduce the body temperature. On the contrary, when the temperature decreases, some hormones in the body try to save energy by shrinking the nerves. Therefore, if you are facing this condition while giving blood sample, then you need to focus on its causes and possible medical conditions. Maybe you are a victim of stress or there is lack of water in your body.
