I saw on the news this morning about mamograms and exams. My wife is from the Philippines and always had dark nipples and orea. After 21 years all of a sudden they're light pink.
Has anyone else had this happen and is it a sign of anything?

Change of color of the nipples is a new phenomenon. I have gone through the medical reference books but could not find change of color as a symptom of breast cancer. So you need not worry.
However, let us not take any chances. Please consult your doctor and if necessary an Oncologist to ensure there is nothing serious.
God Bless her.

It sounds such as you will possibly have positioned up annoying rigidity disease. between the skill indications of PTSD is a sort of emotional numbing and lack of ability to sense something. in spite of the undeniable fact that, you will would desire to get a extra thorough assessment via a psychiatrist to be certain if this what the concern is. you're saying you probably did not journey any annoying activities yet then you definately describe activities that would desire to be annoying to anybody. you will desire to look for scientific care at a Veterans administration scientific institution. you're saying which you do not sense guilt or sense sorry approximately that would desire to point a character disease unrelated on your attempt against yet you apart from mght say which you cry once you once you think of of a few thing undesirable occurring to somebody. This seems to point which you're able to empathizing with others and doubtless you're only suppressing your thoughts approximately those activities. . a qualified psychiatrist would be waiting that can assist you you perceive your situation and handle it.

The best way to find out for sure is to see a doctor.
I'm not 100% sure of the significance of lightening of colour (not had much experience with ladies with dark skin) but things which would be more significant would be change of size of breasts (uneveness increasing), change of texture of the breast skin and especially the areola and of course any lumps. Your wife should examine herself each month for these changes.

She could get a check up to be safe. There is a form of breast cancer that doens't show up well on mammograms or exams - it doens't form lumps, just meshes of material - and discolored areas of the breasts are often a sign of this. A check up would make you both feel better.

I'm not a expert .. but it has nothing to do with breast cancer. Good Luck! :)
