A member asked:
I have visible blue veins in abdomen and spider veins. i have gained some weight recently but i'm not pregnant. what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two things: The first possible reason is liver dysfunction which will cause protrusion of the abdomen from ascites(intra-abdominal fluid) and spider veins. The second is weight gain from fat that has to be "nourished" by adding additional surface veins. Contact a MD and make sure that your liver is normal with a blood liver enzyme test and exam.
