Have you ever examined breast of your sister or have been examined by her?

Hi this is the first time I am posting a question. I am relatively new to the site

Have you examined your sister's breast ever or has she examined you?

What was the reason?

Is your sister older or younger than you? How old were both of you at that time?

How did it feel?

Today my 35 year old elder sister asked me to check her breast as she was feeling slight pain in the left breast and underarm area. Though I gave her a proper breast exam because of my med fet interest (I assume she doent know of my medfet) but I did it genuinely. I told her that it is only muscular pain because she sleeps with her arm under her head. Yet she insisted that I check her properly. Which I did. Infact now her pain is also gone.

It felt weird feeling her breast for exam. Though we at times bathe together so I have touched her breasts but never like this. But I am also relieved that there's nothing wrong.

Waiting for your responses.

Many times. My sister is paranoid about lumps and so is her girlfriend. I am an RN so it's no biggie to me. Her girlfriend is small but my sister has large breasts. She took them from me before I was born. She got all of the bigger parts. If either feels a lump they come to me and ask me to check for them. Even if it is not pronounced they come to me. A lot of times what they are feeling I don't feel it. Some of the time it is fat. We have a cool doctor and if you call her she will tell you someone will call you back shortly and it is usually the place down the hill next to the Urgent Care where they have 3D mammograms.

Why would I? That sounds incestual.

I just saw this today. I know where it's coming from. It can be two things: One is cultural difference and Secondly it can be because of my words “how did you feel”

It's totally ok. It's your opinion.

But I felt that I should also clarify on both these reasons.

By culture difference I mean, here we ladies like confiding in our sisters, mothers or our partners, first on having an intimate issues than seeing a doctor directly. We see a doctor but we tell our family first. And at times show the problem to them first before the doctor examines us. Be it a stomachache or an intimate gynec issue. Moreover majority of us don't see a doctor regularly as in the West. We go to a doctor only when sick. That's how most of us do here.

That day too, my sister was having breast pain and I just checked her breasts like I do my breast self exam. That also my sister has taught me. Just because I have medfet interest didn't mean I was doing it with that intention. I get sick very often and she genuinely cares for me even when it comes to intimate issues.

About the words “how did it feel”, maybe my words didnt come out correctly but what I actually wanted to know was that as a non medical professional that most of us are, how did it feel when your sister touched your breast to examine you or you did that to your sister. Medical professionals take touching others' body parts for examination as part of their job but we don't do it regularly. So we definitely feel differently. I felt weird examining my sister's breasts. But there was no other intention.

It is totally normal and acceptable. happens between friends or family
