Question 1

i have prominent veins on my breasts? how can i get rid of the
and should this be a concern ?

Accepted Answer

No and no: The veins drain blood away from tissue, and sometimes they are located closer to the skin in some women, which makes them more visible.  In young women, such as you at age 16, the breasts are developing and responding to hormone signals.  I would not worry.  And please no plastic surgery!  Best wishes!

Question 2

would prominent veins on my breasts get in the way of a breast reduction?

Accepted Answer

No: Most women with large breasts have large veins. Plastic surgeons are very comfortable dealing with this.

Accepted Answer

Breast discharge: May be normal....better you be seen by a specialist....contact your doctor ASAP

Question 4

i have self examined but still did not find any redness lumps or prominent veins... no nipple discharge ..its just my right breast looks bigger tinder and feels very heavy ..i am 28 year old virgin. and no otjer health issues?

Accepted Answer

: If you have no family history of breast cancer, the non symmetrical growth of one breast is probably due to increased estrogen receptors in the larger breast, or fibrocystic disease in the larger breast, both of which are benign causes.  See your gyn provider for an exam and possible digital mammography if he/she feels it indicated.

Question 5

i have multiple lumps in my breasts as well as breast pain. newly prominent veins, bone aches, chest pains, and my collarbone has ached for two days.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Breasts can be very lumpy and sometimes the cystic changes are painful.  Usually painful lumps are not worriesome.  I would try taking some ibuprofen and evening primrose oil.  Make an appointment to see your doctor in the next 1-2 weeks.
