Euhm... I have a very 'blond' question: what is the problem...? ;-) Why were 
her breasts examinated in the first place?
I could imagine that increased blood flow through breastfeeding might have 
enlarged the veins, but how is that problematic?

Subject: [LACTNET] Thicker blood veins from long term BF?


Permission to post:  The mother breastfed her son for 22 months till he 
weaned himself 4 years ago. She has been examined on the breasts with 
infrared ray by a doctor. The doctor said the blood veins in her breasts 
were thicker, which may be the result from long time breastfeeding.
Does anyone has references or similar cases? What can this be?

Any inputs will be appreciated.
