Question 1

is it normal to have very visable blue veins on the breasts and chest for years ? i've had them since my breasts grew larger and their hideous.

Accepted Answer

May be ok: Prominence of superficial veins on the breasts are normal  if present on both breasts in similar pattern. Larger breasts have more noticeable superficial veins as a rule. If your breasts feel tender or overly congested get an exam by your Physician for peace of mind.

Question 2

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 3

why do blue veins show up on breasts and chest this month with other pregnant symptoms but have period bleeding just two days?

Accepted Answer

U may be pregnant: You can have a period / menstrual bleed and still be pregnant. The sign of pregnancy such veins on the chest and other pregnancy symptoms may be more reliable indicator. I would start with a pregnancy test and follow up with a doctor to sort it out.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

i had my period but my breasts are sore and there is visible blue veins on my chest, what might be the cause?

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 9

can hot weather make blue veins on breast appear darker and more prominent ?

Accepted Answer

Blood flow increase: Anything that increases the blood flow to that area from nursing to hot weather will increase the appearance of "blue veins"
