Q: in the center of my abdominal stomach area, there is a four to three inch almost perfect circle of little red spider veins. i am also having some stomach and digestion issues? should i get a ultrasound my stomach area?

: First a thorough history and a focused exam by your doc in order to understand what might be causing the changes and if a test might be needed. In general the ultrasound is a relatively low yield test, used in specific circumstances. You should not worry or request a specific test, let your doc discuss options.
