Question 1

is it normal to see blue veins on your breasts, nipples and chest?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is completely normal. It is nothing to be concerned about. If there is a significant cosmetic concerned you may want to speak with a dermatologist or vascular doctor in order to discuss cosmetic treatment. However, you are likely to notice that these veins become more and less pronounced overtime. They should not hurt or cause you any problems and are generally not a major cosmetic issue.

Question 2

is having blue veins on breasts and lumps on nipple normal?

Accepted Answer

That is normal: If you have fair skin, it is completely normal to see veins under the skin surface.  Light blue veins, in particular, are common and are called reticular veins.  Veins you can feel or skin discoloration (darkening) around the veins are abnormal.  Otherwise, no need to do anything.

Question 3

i have very visible blue veins on my breasts and nipples since having my last child 6 years ago.  surgery or prevention tips?

Accepted Answer

No shortcuts: Your breasts become engorged during pregnancy and it is very doubtful that the veins will spontaneously disappear. Occasionally, weight loss and exercise can cause a mild reduction in breast size, but this is not a guarantee.

Question 4

what is the cause of blue veins popping around nipples and breast?

Accepted Answer

Normal finding: I am amazed about how often I have women ask me about the veins on their breast.  Occasionally they are spider veins but mostly they are blue veins.  These are almost always normal findings and normal variations of chest veins.  They tend to be more pronounced in fair skinned females and they may be related to hereditary factors or even pregnancies.  No treatment is necessary unless for cosmetics.

Question 5

is it normal for nipple tender and blue veins in breast after just starting pill and weaning child 2 months go?

Accepted Answer

Yes it may be: Yes it may be normal but can not say for sure, so i will suggest have it checked i'd soreness in nipple persists.

Question 6

blue veins on breast & one goin through nipples.. they get sore from time to time! what does this mean..?

Accepted Answer

Hmm: There is a condition called mondor's disease. This is a painful condition caused by a thrombophlebitis ( blood clot ) of a vein on the breast. It is benign and self limiting. You mention soreness, well it could be...
Are you  breast feeding, felt any lumps in the breast/arm pit? See you obgyn or a surgeon. Do not neglect!

Question 7

30 days late. i took a few test and all negative. symptoms are breast enlargement, burning nipples, blue veins in breast and chest. could i be?

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 8

i've noticed that from mid chest area blue veins and progresses to my nipples. also i have tender breast & my nipples now hurt, should i be concerned.

Accepted Answer

Hormone related: Most likely hormone related.  Breast tenderness before a period is very common.

Question 9

breast feel extremely heavy,  blue veins , nipples tender when touched, and irritability.  what could these be symptoms of?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: The signs of pregnancy include breast enlargement and tenderness, abdominal fullness, nausea/vomiting, and perhaps some emotional changes.

Question 10

boyfriend never cam inside me had my period on time first month and late the second since but heavy. now have blue veins on nipples and sore breasts!

Accepted Answer

PG test first, then.: First, do a pregnancy test as "pre cum" can cause live sperm to impregnate you. If the test is negative, then the sore breasts may simply be a function of excess hormone (estrogen) stimulation. See a GYN MD or clinic if you still have any concerns.
