Hi,
Those are called as varices. It occurs secondary to portal hypertension. Portal hypertension is due to liver disorder commonly cirrhosis of liver.
Varices increases the prominence of the veins, and even mild injury can lead to bleeding.
It can be found at three locations. Around umbilicus, esophagus and anal canal.
If there is excessive bleeding, transfusion might be necessary.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
