Title: Anybody with blue veins on their breasts?
Post by: Annie58 on June 28, 2015, 11:50:32 AM

Over the last couple of months I've noticed some blue veins on my left breast.  I'm wondering if this is anything to do with HRT?  The veins are towards the nipple area.  I'm not especially concerned as I can't feel any lumps at all.  This breast is bigger than the my right breast (has been for some time) so I wonder if this connected to the menopause or HRT?  Since being on HRT I have developed a small spider nevus on my face which the GP reassured me is of no concern and I read later this can be hormonal.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I'me sure it's nothing nasty but if we follow the "changes to the breasts should be checked" rationale, it might be worth seeing your GP just to make sure.

Mine have always been noticeable and are more obvious than ever due to increased breast size  >:(  But if one breast is bigger than the other, or you have not noticed veins before, as Limpy says, it would be wise to get this checked just in case.

I agree best to get it checked although I suspect it's hormones.

The last time mine were like that was when I was pregnant.

Thank you for your replies, I will get them checked out soon.  It'll hopfully be just for reassurance.
