Females, when was the first time that you can remember having to expose your breasts to a doctor or nurse?

For the ladies, when was the first time you remember having a medical professional "see" your breasts? Was it for them to actually examine them or were they exposed for another reason? Do you remember how it made you feel?

I never truly had to be completely exposed for breast exams ever. My OBGYN has always examined my breast inside the gown, she just slides her hand inside the gown where it’s open enough in the front to slide her hand inside under the gown and feel my breast.

Honestly I would love for a doctor to ask me to be completely exposed for the breast exam, infact I would love to have the doctor come in and lower the gown and remove it completely and have me lay me down flat on my back on the exam table or even have the nurse tell me NO GOWN TODAY, the doctor wants you to get completely undressed and go ahead and lay down flat on your back on the exam table so he can begin the exam when he comes in.

Infact I would prefer to always be told NO GOWN! And to get completely undressed and go ahead lay down flat on your back for the exam and the doctor will be in as soon as you lay down.

I don't have memories of doctor visits before I hit puberty. So the first time I recall this was about 12 I guess. I remember pretty much everything from adolescence onward.

I was 28 when I went privately to a gynecologist and I had my first check up with him, and I had a breast exam as part of it. In one way it was a bit odd because I was used to only my husband handling my boobs before that. But I was used to them being seen and looked at by men because I had been going topless or nude some times too on beaches, so it was ok when my gynecologist first saw and looked at them during the exam. And he must have seen lots of breasts so it was all good.

For my girlfriend it was at the teenager Checkup J1 here in Germany. First of all the did a ecg bare chested with a nurse and later at the doctor's room there was also an exam of heart and spine with bare breast and also to look how developed the breasts were

When I was in grade 6, a doctor came to the school to perform physical exams on students who had transferred into the school system and had not had an exam by a private doctor. Students were called out of class to go to the nurse's office. Evidently when they arrived there, the nurse escorted them into the office bathroom. She handed them a towel, had them take everything off, and then wrap the towel around their bodies. Of course the conversation at lunch was what happened that morning to some of our classmates.

Evidently the boys were told to wrap the towel around their waist and for most of the exam it was on; they were told to drop the towel at the end. One girl was upset when she returned but was also very open about what happened - she wrapped the towel around herself up under the arms (as instructed to do). After checking the HEENT, the doctor told her to drop the towel and she was nude for the rest of the exam.

I think I was probably around ten the first time, but the first strong memory I was twelve- my pediatrician had me sit up and pull my gown down around my waist so she could do a breast exam, which was embarrassing enough (and I thought would be the worst part) but then she had me lay down and lift my hips so she could pull my gown up and my panties down. I hadn't had a genital exam for years so it was a weird mix of something that felt "adult" and something that felt childish (especially since I removed the gown for the breast exam but she removed it for the genital exam).

I remember that I trusted around ten or eleven years old, it was something routine but quite embarrassing because on other occasions I was topless and it was a visual examination only while at the same time using the stethoscope, however on this occasion it focused on this part of my body exclusively and the exam came with questions like: "do you feel pain during the day" or "do you feel itching" or questions about how much sensitivity I felt when he touch me, it was an experience but more humiliating because he asked questions and I had to answer them at that same moment in front of a nurse and my mother
