Accepted Answer

Hormonal reponse: your breasts and nipples will respond with changes in color and fullness in repsonse to female hormone secretion,sexual stimulation and manipulation. Ifyou next cycle does not come down and you have had unprotected sexual intercorse- do a home pregnacy test.

A lot of possibiliti: various things can cause increasing breast size. First of all, you do not mention age. and breast size changes with age and weight. More changes closer to puberty. Other hormonal changes such as plan b but also changes in contraception.

Question 3

what causes very visible veins on boobs , nipple, shoulders and pelvic belly area ? what could be the causes ? thanks

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

why do some people have veins visible in their boobs?

Accepted Answer

Normal: There is amble blood supply to the breast tissue, frequently there are veins that are quite prominent and clearly visible in the breast - that is normal.  However a sudden change or a dramatic increase in the appearance of the veins of the breast should warrant an exam by your physician.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Is this new?: If so prominent veins in upper torso of recent onset reflect central venous hypertension ie superior vena cava obstruction. It is a rare entity but requires lysis and anticoagulation. Seek advice.

Question 7

is it normal that my boobs are changing at 21? my left areola is bigger and darker then the right and has never ever been like that before and it also appears to have a dark black vein around part of it. its also very tender unlike the right side 1.

Accepted Answer

See a gynecologist : Your areola can change color in adulthood, and not just when you get pregnant (although this is the most common time for it to happen).  Darker areolae might be a sign of a hormone imbalance. But you said  you notice that only one of your areola has changed in color, there might be something more medically serious. I recommend you to see a gynecologist as soon as possible.
