Patient's question:
What happened? Feeling unwell, how big is the spider angioma?Doctor's answer:
Spider angiomas that are very small are caused by liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, or other liver diseases leading to a decrease in the estrogen-mitigating effect. Estrogen causes the expansion of small blood vessels, which results in the recurrence of spider angiomas. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital and, under the guidance of a doctor, improve blood routine tests, liver function tests, renal function tests, and perform necessary abdominal ultrasound or liver MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
