A member asked:

My left nipple has a swollen vein running through a third of it . .i'm not pregnant so i'm not sure what else it would be ?

Mondor's Disease?: You may have thrombophlebitis of the breast (known as Mondor's disease). Id suggest to seek either an ER MD or, better, an OB/Gyn for an examination, possibly an ultrasound, even a mammogram.
