Ladies, First breast exam by a doctor?

What had you felt at the first time doctor touched your breast?

What was your age?

Was it different then other exams?

I think I was 13 or so and had just started wearing a bra. My mother was in the room.

It was definitely different, after the doctor listened to my chest and belly, she asked me to put my arms behind my head. Normally she would have moved on to palpation, but this time she told me she needed to make sure I was developing normally by examining my breasts. I was already stripped to my underwear, and after I moved into position she thoroughly palpated each breast. Then she let me put my arms down and felt my bowels before asking me to take panties to ankles for a look at private parts.

I was very excited, I already knew I liked going to the doctor, and was nervous the doctor would comment to my mom about my vagina. I went home and locked myself in the bathroom to touch myself after that physical.

Ladies, when did you have your first breast exam? Did your pediatrician examine your breasts during your teen years or in your pre-teen years when you were starting to develop? Were your breasts exposed when the doctor listened to your heart?

Cal,

What size are your breasts?

Did you have pubic hair? Was you labia spread?

My breasts are about a D, and yes I had pubic hair. The doctor did open my labia and look with the light attached to the table.

Not a female but I sat in for my wife’s first breast exam. She was very embarrassed during the exam and not expecting it.

I think I was 13-14 and it was quick and so embarrassing

I was 13. The doctor asked me about my periods which had just started that year. Then asked me to lower my gown. It wasn't a full breast exam. More like these are self exams you should do them etc... I felt very exposed and weird that a man was touching my breasts and there wasn't much to see at that age anyways.

I recall having my "breasts" (really just tender enlarging nipples at the time) briefly palpated from the time there was a prominence in my top but an actual clinical breast exam, looking, palpating axilla and breasts etc at 13-14ish.

My Doctor would take my gown down and look at and examine my breasts starting when I was 11, not that there was much there to examine for several more years. At first it was only a little embarrassing but as I got older...OMG was I embarrassed at having him see, touch and feel my breasts.

Hmmmm. I'm guessing 12 or 13. Shortly after my periods began. I knew the Doctor well enough and just did what he asked. My mom was there. I was in a gown with only my panties on. He checked me over then had me lower the gown and felt my breasts..what there were anyway. Then he ask me to remove my panties and it was my first time experiencing stirrups. And he checked out my vagina.

Yes I was very aroused afterwards and spent some private time.

Was the regular family dr or a gyn?

Presumably external examination of vulva/ vagina.

I can relate to needing some private time afterwards

It was my family Dr and my mother asked him to make sure everything was okay...but still I was having 'feelings' and this just excited the issue.

My first 'breast exam" happened around 11.5 years of age. I was developing and I had pain. The doctor just touched with her fingers. I was down with fever. I was taken to gynecologist. She gave some syrup for pain. It wasn't anything serious my sister explained once we were home.

With breasts almost developed my first exam was at the age of 16 when I started missing periods for the first time.

I'm so glad to see another woman be open about this. I still need private time after a physical or gyn exam as soon as I get home.

I am sure you are certainly not alone in that Cal

During Breast exam many of my patients says this is most intimate thing even compare to bimanual exams.they can handle bimanual exams and recto-vaginal exams with some sort of calmness but breast exams are really arousing. all that deep palpation of breast tissue can ignite anyone easily.

My pediatrician who I have known my whole life at that time all of a sudden lifted up my bra (I am guessing at 14 or so) and started giving me a breast exam. My hands went up to block it but he said, "I have to do this" and it was completely humiliating. I just wish he warned me before. (Note, my mom was in the room and said he was very professional)

As an adult, its fine.

My first breast exam was at age 18 by a male doctor. It was really short. I didn't like being examined at the time or anyone touching me.

After reading various comments and seeing so many breast exam videos, I wish I've had longer and more thorough breast exams. I also wish I started getting them when I was younger but not with my aunt present. My aunt was present during my first pelvic exam.

As I have mentioned before many times my sister and I shared a room growing up. We lived on a lake which meant my sister's friends would change in our room. They used to tease me and ask when I was going to get some boobies. My sister didn't tease me it was her friends. They were all two and three years older than me. I hadn't even started my periods yet much less have peach fuzz down there. So mom made an appointment with the doctor. It was no big deal because it was the same doctor who delivered me and I had been going to. She had seen all parts of me. She just did a fast check and told me not to worry that some girls develop slower than others. Her friends never teased me in front of my sister because they knew she would take up for me.

@Tabitha32 approxiamtely how old were you when mom took you for that checkup?

From the perspective of an examiner. I am a play doc Met a 22 yo woman in 2009 for stethoscope play/heart listening. I was the first one to steth her bare chested since she was a child before her breasts started to develop. I was actually the first man to see her breasts. In addition to giving her the longest and most thorough stething she'd ever had, I let her listen to her own heart and mine, and I performed her first breast exam and taught her how to examine her little 32A breasts at home

I have been going to the same doctor since I was 7 years old, and I've always had an annual check-up. When I was little, I had to undress down to just my panties for my annual exams. I suppose he always felt my chest when when examined my lymph nodes in my axilla even before I started to develop any breasts.

When I went for my annual physical at age 11, I had just started to develop small breast mounds. They weren't that big at all – I'd say each was about the size of a ping-pong ball cut in half. I remember that I wore a camisole that day, but wasn't regularly wearing a bra yet, so when I had to strip down to my panties, I was very conscious of my breasts showing. In a way it wasn't any different than my physical when I was 9 or 10 years old, in that I was sitting on the exam table just wearing my panties. But in another way, was very conscious that something was different. I remember it was weird sitting there for the entire 15 minute exam (plus the ten minutes I was waiting for him before he came in), having my developing breasts exposed. I remember that it tickled when he felt them and gave me goose bumps all over.

I was around 11-12. I had not caught my sister masturbating yet but, while changing and such I noticed. If she left the room I would look and feel my boobs. She is two years older than me. She developed fast. I always say I was robbed by her because she got all the bigger parts. Lol

My first breast exam was when I was 16. I was still seeing my pediatrician but this was the first time he actually touched my breasts. he always looked at them in the past, but never really touched them.

The first time for my wife was at her first smear test. The nurse asked her to remove everything from the waist down and get on the couch with w blanket over her legs. The nurse then asked her to remove all the rest of her cloths and proceeded to do the breast exam. The nurse did not ask if it was okay t do the breast exam, and my wife was not expecting it, but was too preoccupied with the upcoming smear to think too much about it. For me it was quite exciting to see her completely naked with just a thin blanket covering her lower half. This is the only breast exam she has had.

12, at pediatrician. He was kind and gentle but it was extremely embarrassing regardless. He touched all my private areas that day to my total surprise and I’ve never forgotten the sensation.

I was 21

It was my first gynec visit of my life

I had missed my periods so maybe as a protocol Dr checked my breasts as well

I was about 25. My left breast became tender and it felt hard. I went to my doctor who gave me my first breast exam. I lay on the bench while he palpated all over, and at the end he gave my nipples a small squeese.

My pediatrician did a quick one when I was 14 and 15. He started doing more thorough breast exams when I was 16.
