A member asked:

Varicose veins on my breasts and on my areola, a sign of pregnancy?

Could be!: Pregnancy is associated with enlargement of the breasts and changes to the areola. These changes can also be due to a number of other things, however, such as the timing within the menstrual cycle. Over the counter urine pregnancy tests are incredibly sensitive - they are the same as used by hospitals and doctors offices. Feel free to buy the cheapest one and trust the result.

Maybe.: Prominent breast veins are common in pregnancy and can occur pretty early. But, if you're not pregnant and want to eliminate the veins, I've seen very good results with sclerotherapy. It's easy to do and most patients find it less painful than they thought it would be.
