Question 1

should i be worried if i can see blue veins around my breasts?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Blue veins can be seen in fair skinned or thin individuals. This in normal. There are a few relatively rare medical conditions that can cause veins to become engorged or more prominent on the chest. These rare conditions always have other symptoms associated with them and occur on one side, not both. So if it is  
on both breast and no symptoms it is probably 
nothing to worry about.

Question 2

is it normal to visible see & feel raised veins around both breasts, like the veins you feel & see on your hands? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Probably.: Assuming you're female, it's very common although they aren't usually quite as large as most hand veins.   Breast veins can become very prominent during pregnancy or if you have implants.  If you're not pregnant and you want to eliminate them, you can see a vein doctor who can easily treat them, usually with as simple method called sclerotherapy.

Question 3

not sure if im expecting last cycle was may 1-9 kinda long for me breast has milk and i also see veins why is this happening should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Take a test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy. If your test is negative then see a doctor to evaluate your breast milk production. An exam should be done and if needed a Prolactin blood test can be ordered

Question 4

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 5

i can see blue veins on my breasts and i find them very unattractive. is there anyway to prevent this or make them less noticeable? bio oil maybe?

Accepted Answer

If they are small,: and superficial,maybe sclerotherapy would help get rid of them. Otherwise,  I don't know any other treatment for this. Talk to a Dermatologist on Health Tap for more in depth answers. I hope this helps!

Question 6

i've been trying to have a baby and i ovulate on the 4th. since the 6th my breast have been hard and sore i can see veins i have a temperature of 100.3?

Accepted Answer

Reply: Breast tenderness and raise in body temperature are normal symptoms associated with ovulation. See how you do over the next few days if symptoms improve then that's what it was. Take pain killers. Consult your gyn if no improvement.

Question 7

im 17 years old. ive noticed that my left breast has been growing larger than the right one, and veins appeared on the left. the right is very nromal. 
the left one feels more solidic? i dont know how to describe it. 
should i see a doctor?or normal?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: It is normal to have two different sized breasts but because you are noticing veins and a solid component it should be checked out further.  I could nothing, a clogged duct, a cyst or a mass.  An examination by a physician will be able to tell more.

Question 8

i have an irregular cycle 40-45 days, i am 13 days late, i have experience cramps, nauseas in the morning and night time, i have a watery discharge for all 13 days, my breasts hurt and i can see my veins now, all test came back negative, am i pregnan?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A woman who gets her normal regular period is not pregnant. If newly pregnant, the symptoms don't start until more than 10 days after conception. A home urine pregnancy test is very accurate by 3 weeks after sex, or 1 week after missing a period.

Question 9

i started bc june 2nd, since the veins in my breasts/hips/thighs/palms have become more noticeable.. normal hormone side effects?

Accepted Answer

Hormone effects: Likely, the prominence of veins is a direct effect of the BCP you are now taking. This is normal. It is a good idea to report this to the prescribing physician. Perhaps the dose can be modified. And, be aware that venous thrombosis is a recognized side effect of BCP, though unusual.

Question 10

i have had dark blue veins in my breasts for many years. about a year and a half ago i noticed a blue lump in one breast.... palpable with pressure. i?

Accepted Answer

Get checked.: Any new lump, in the breast or elsewhere, needs to be checked. Most of the time they are no big deal, but occasionally they are due to something serious, like cancer, or an infection. Only way to sort it out is by an exam and appropriate testing by a qualified medical expert in the field.  Your primary care doctor is a good place to start to begin the evaluation and testing and refer if needed
