What Causes Tender And Swollen Vein On Breasts?

Hi I am a 27 year old mother of two who breastfed both my kids but that was almost 4 years ago. Woke up this morning with tender breasts and on my right nipple I have what looks to be two swollen veins that are tender to the touch? Any idea of what this could be and what should I do?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is due to hormonal changes.
But it should be examined by surgeon or required picture for specific diagnosis.

Following are the other cause
Most common-Hormonal imbalance : High /lack of estrogen and progesterone
It may be associate with Breast size, Excessive stress and Alcohol and caffine use, breast cystic disease

You can do following test if remain long time:
