What Could Cause Veins Becoming Pronounced On The Left Breast?
For the last several months, I have been noticing the veins on my left breast and chest becoming much more pronounced. I also have occasional pain in the same spot on my left breast, where one of the prominent veins runs through. I am a 54 yr. old post-menopausal woman. No close family history of breast cancer, but yes on other cancers (skin, pancreatic). Should I be concerned?
