Women, when the doctor listens to your heart are your breasts exposed?

Mostly topless but that is because I do not bother to wear a bra when I see them for ease of undress.

Interesting replies, ladies. I have never had a MD ask me to remove my bra and I am a DD. Now, play Docs, that is a different story 😉 .

Mostly topless, I don't know if being firm 36D has anything to do with it

Do you take your bra and shirt off while the doctor is present or before they enter the room?

I take my top and bra off for heart and lung exams, usually in the doctor's presence. When I was a teen my mother did not permit me to wear a bra to the doctors for ease in the exam.

Chelsea,

Is it more erotic stripping in the doctor's presence than getting undressed before he enters the room? Do you look to see where he is looking as you remove your clothes? What was your reaction the first time he asked you to undress in front of him?

Most doctors I've gone to have listened to my heart and lungs over my shirt. My OBGYN does it through the thin gown material. The only other exam I've had that puzzled me was when I went to an endocrinologist. When he had me lay back to check my tummy, he raised my shirt and pressed the steth directly under my left breast since in the reclined position, it shifted the position of the breasts. I can only assume he was listening to my heart and other bowel sounds before performing a fairly complete abdominal exam.

It is much more erotic stripping in the doctor's presence than before he gets there. He usually tries to pretend he's reading my file, but I can tell he's looking over the tops of his glasses at me. From the first time I thought he like to get a good look at his patients, the females anyway, so I gave him a good, slow show.

Chelsea,

I would have loved to be the doctor who got to watch you give a slow, sensual strip tease. I would have been erect in anticipation of the upcoming breast exam that I would be performing. Do you remain topless for the remainder of the exam? At what point do your panties come off? Are you nude by the end of the exam?

Mostly topless

Only during a complete physical does John listen at the apex, and when he does he just sort of in one swift motion gets his hand up under and lifts my boobie up out of the way and puts the scope where it needs to go. And he does this under the gown. When I am in there for other things he just puts the scope on my chest at three places, over the shirt, unless I am wearing a sweatshirt which is most of the time. Then he just sort of pulls the neck of my sweatshirt down and puts the scope on my skin.

Now I mainly remove my bra so the Dr can place the stethescope under my breasts

Does your doctor have to move your breast to listen to your lower chest?

Topless. My doctor would listen to my chest and below my left breast. I only have b-cups (sigh..), so there is nothing there to be moved. Lol

I love it when my doctor does my breast exam and then slowly works her way down to my tummy. She would also rub my appendic scar (2 inches) and comment on it.

A paper gown is on but no bra on

I have lowered the gown before...other times the dr will listen through the gown

If it is a family practitioner, they usually do it through your shirt if it is thin enough. However, when I go for an annual female exam, the doctor usually puts the stethoscope inside the gown (they have you leave it open in the front), and then places it up underneath your left breast.

Most doctors want the patient to take their top off.in most cases it will be a quick lung exam in their brassiers.

Bra on for a quick exam, but usually topless.

My chest is exposed when he listens to my heart and yes, he does lift my breast

Yes when the doctor listens to my heart, my chest is exposed and the doctor does lift my breast slightly to place the stethoscope.

At the gyno, yes, my breasts are exposed, but he doesn't lift my breast. At the gp, usually it's just a listen at mitral and pulmonic, so breasts aren't exposed.

The heart must be auscultated on bare skin. The proper attire is a gown without a bra for men or women. The left breast is elevated with the edge of the right hand as the stethoscope is applied with the hand. To listen through fabric is as bad as trying to look outside through a bed sheet. This is to listen to the apex. The pulmonic and aortic areas are above the breasts.

This is extremely interesting to me. It would be interesting to see how/why each doctor does what they do (exposed or not). I'm sure they were all taught similarly, but what would make them do different?

I was taught that that chest is exposed enough to reach the areas you need to examine.

If the breasts are pendulous, you ask the patient to lift her breast so you can gain access to the chest wall.

Always Bra off, pulling up kindly a little bit the left breast for apex auscultation if large and ptotic

Not at my GP - only sometimes, but at the gyn of course I have my bra always removed. Only one time I didn't, the dr. listened under my shirt but I was there for ultrasound so I suppose it was perfunctory.

Out of my females friends - nobody.

During my last exam my gown was down to my waist before she started listening and my bra came off when she needed access ro the areas it covered.

I've got large breasts and they're always moved out of the way. The doctor kind of pushes them apart when she's listening in the middle the middle then raises the left one with her hand to get under it.
