What is involutional breast change?
Involutional breast change is a normal process that occurs in women as they age from about 25 to 45 years old. During this time the number of loblues within the breast will decrease and the specialized connective tissue in the breast will replaced with more fibrotic collagen. This results in breast sagging and a loss of firmness. Some breasts may become larger if there is a marked increase in fat deposition due to compensatory weight as one gets older.
What does it mean when you squeeze your nipples and the liquid is yellow or green?
The abnormal discharge could be caused by a condition called mammary duct ectasia. The condition causes one or more of the ducts below the nipples to become inflamed and clogged with a discharge substance ranging from green to black in colour.
To relive the symptoms, place warm compressions to the breast. You can also take anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen to help relieve some of the symptoms.
For full treatment, see a doctor, who will prescribe you antibiotics to remove the infection.

A small painful lump in your hand?
It could very likely be Dupuytren Disease. Dupuytren's disease is an abnormal thickening of the fascia (the tissue just beneath the skin of the palm). It often starts with firm lumps in the palm. In some patients, firm cords will develop beneath the skin, stretching from the palm into the fingers (see Figure 1). Gradually, these cords may cause the fingers to bend into the palm (see Figure 2). Although the skin may become involved in the process, the deeper structures-such as the tendons-are not directly involved. Occasionally, the disease will cause thickening on top of the finger knuckles (knuckle pads), or nodules or cords within the soles of the feet (plantar fibromatosis). The cause of Dupuytren's disease is unknown but may be associated with certain biochemical factors within the involved fascia. The problem is more common in men over age 40 and in people of northern European descent. There is no proven evidence that hand injuries or specific occupational exposures lead to a higher risk of developing Dupuytren's disease. Symptoms of Dupuytren's disease usually include a small lump or series of lumps and pits within the palm. The lumps are generally firm and adherent to the skin. Gradually a cord may develop, extending from the palm into one or more fingers, with the ring and little fingers most commonly affected. These cords may be mistaken for tendons, but they actually lie between the skin and the tendons. In many cases, both hands are affected, although the degree of involvement may vary. The initial nodules may produce discomfort that usually resolves, but Dupuytren's disease is not typically painful. The disease may first be noticed because of difficulty placing the hand flat on an even surface, such as a tabletop (see Figure 3). As the fingers are drawn into the palm, one may notice increasing difficulty with activities such as washing, wearing gloves, shaking hands, and putting hands into pockets. Progression is unpredictable. Some individuals will have only small lumps or cords while others will develop severely bent fingers. More severe disease often occurs with an earlier age of onset.

Why are your nipples hard in the morning?
The nipple tissue on both men and women has smooth muscle tissue. This is under the control of the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle in the nipples can contract (or relax). Under the autonomic nervous system, the nipples of both men and women (but more so with women) react to:
- cold temperatures, which can cause an almost painful 'erection' of the nipple and contraction of the areola; (warmth, even a forearm across the breasts, can counteract the cold) -- This can occur immediately after a hot shower when cooler air hits the body; when going out on a cold day; opening a refrigerator at home or a refrigerated unit in a store; or getting too cold while sleeping.
- friction, such as against loose fitting clothing (without a bra for females), or the friction of bed sheets or blankets
- for women especially, friction from the arm on the dominant side repeating brushing against or rubbing against the breast on the same side (so a right-handed woman can irritate the right breast), such as doing repetitive written handwriting or typing on a computer; dealing cards; stirring a pot of food; scrubbing a floor by hand, etc.
- sexual stimulation, which includes: touching; friction such as being rubbed during sexual foreplay; licking; sucking (and over-stimulation; too much of these actions)
- for women who are breastfeeding
Early morning nipple responses and soreness in the morning can be reduced by:
- protection against cold, even crossing the arms across the chest; a towel after a shower; warm clothing and coat when its cold outside
- females wearing a sports bra to sleep in
- males wearing a T-shirt to sleep in
- tucking sheet or blanket under the arms
- lack of loose clothing across the chest
- taking breaks from handwriting; typing; card dealing; cooking chores, scrubbing motions
- being willing to tell a sexual partner to reduce the stimulation
- for breastfeeding, following proper breastfeeding techniques and wearing a supportive nursing bra

It means nothing really if you are worried ask your doctor. If you have just started your period a month or so its more then likely it is irregular like many.
