A member asked:
Are dark blue veins near the nipples a sign of breast cancer? period due this week anytime and diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast veins.: Blue breast veins are very common and tend to increase with aging, in fair skin, with various hormones and with breast surgeries. Pregnancies can also cause an increase in breast veins as well as around the menstrual period. They are not a sign of breast cancer.
