What Causes Dark Veins Popping In Abdomen?

Hi, I have noticed some darker veins popping up on the right side of my lower abdomen, my skin is black. I don t think it s because I have been gaining weight because I have been losing weight lately but not a lot. I don t think it s stretch marks, because I have a few on my thighs and they don t look like this. Thanks

HI
Thanks for posting your query .

Dilated veins over the abdomen means there is some obstruction happening for blood circulation in veins . This obstruction could be due to many reasons like Liver problem , Spleen enlargement , Blood disorders , Mass inside the abdomen .

I advise you to get an Ultrasound Abdomen Pelvis scan done and revert back to me . This will give us an idea as to what is causing your problem .

Kindly revert back after the scan .

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
