Ladies, First breast exam by a doctor?

Well, I am 26 and have still never had one.

Trying to work up the courage to do a self breast exam, someday!

I was 14 when I had my J1 (a complete head to toe exam at the pediatrician). At the end of the exam he also checked my private areas. This was the first time my breasts were checked. I was very embarrassed and pretty nervous, but looking back this exam was also one of the experiences that led to my fetish

I was in high school. It was my pediatrician. I was sitting on the table already topless. Because I didn’t get a gown there. I did have a paper sheet that I had to drop.

“I’m sure you know your body is changing. As you get older breast exams become more and more important. “

I think I kind of looked at the ground and nodded.

“I’d like to do one today. Hands on your hips please. Can you lean forward. I’ll just start by palpating your arm pit”

Her hands were cold. I flinched a little bit.

“My hands are a little chilly. I promise I don’t wash them in ice water or anything.” That made my mom chuckle.

“Have you noticed any tenderness? Or discharge?”

I gave muffled one word responses of no. The awkwardness was thick. You could have cut it with a knife. Despite the show I put in here, I really do get embarrassed. Nudity is awkward. Touching places normally covered is awkward. Just the whole thing.

She felt all over my left one. Then my right. It was probably 30 seconds total. It was a lot more “rough” than I had imagined. It ended with her I won’t say pinching my nipple. But there was some light squeeze that didn’t feel great.

“Now monthly self exams. You need to be doing this once a month. And if you feel anything funny come in and see me. “

She gave me a laminated pamphlet that should have been used in the shower and explained how to do it. I threw it in the trash when I get home. Mysteriously I later found it in a drawer in the bathroom. Much like some artifact from a horror movie you just can’t get rid of. (I’m sure mom rescued it)

My mom later explained to me that sure it was embarrassing. But also very important. And a part of growing up. Blah blah blah. You know the drill.

Mine was the first time I went to the gynecologist at 14yo.

I kind of knew it would happen but wasn't sure what it would feel like. Definitely embarrassing but also pleasurable. He was so gentle and good about it. He never made it more awkward than it needed to be with weird comments.

I have written other posts about this, my first breast exam was when I was 28, I went privately to a gynecologist for a full exam. It was ok because I was used to my breasts being seen by men when I was topless on beaches. I was not used to anybody but my husband handling my breasts though so having a male doctor examine them was a new thing to me.

I was around 14 and it was kind of a shock when the doctor ask me to remove everything for my exam, come to find out my parents ask for a full exam that visit, the doctors hands were cold and squeezed my breast like the were orange's and my nipples I guess were either cold or excited..

I can see that being a very interesting experience! did you disrobe fully and put on a gown? and did you end up having a genital exam as well? cheers.

@Amy93 I'm sure you made his day!
