A member asked:

I'm female and 16 years old, recently i've noticed 2 veins on the right side of my abdomen, what does this mean ?

Dr. Natalie Geary answered

Be seen: Chances are if you are thin it just means you have noticed them. If you are overweight or a heavy drinker or other conditions you should be checked.
