Question 3

what causes blue veins round nipples?

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

small hard lump in breast in vein near nipple. it goes away after a few minutes.  has happened three times at different points in cycle.  what is it?

Accepted Answer

Engorgement of tissu: Appears to be the engorgement- enlargement of small areas of breast tissue.As it is closer  to the surface near the nipple you are able to feel. If related to the menstrual cycle,indicates the swelling localized island of breast tissue in response  to hormonal factors of menstrual cycle. this is nothing to worry. Hot compresses /warm soaks may help to reduce pain, if very painful.

Question 6

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 7

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.
