Breast exam questions

I think when a male doctor tries to milk a woman's nipple for discharge and takes more than a couple of minutes on each nipple is actually getting enjoyment out of her breast and nipple. Like my wifes doctor took a good ten minutes on each nipple making them really hard and made her fidget while he was doing it, the good thing was he stood to one side so i got a brilliant view of him doing it to her nipples, she has a very nice old indian doctor

I don't mind talking about it on here and I enjoy thinking about the embarrassment of it after, but actual medical breast exams are extremely uncomfortable for me as as trans guy. There's nothing remotely erotic about them at the time and despite cool rooms and direct contact I've never been hard at one before.

During my chest surgery consultation this week I got the most thorough breast exam I've ever had. My nipples have never been harder. Right from the moment the consultant told me to go behind the sheet and remove my "top things" I started to feel the change.

By the end of the very detailed exam and measuring they were so hard that they were painful. It wasn't even a cold room and the doctor's hands were warm. She was kind of talking to herself as she wrote notes down after and I heard her mention my nipples reacting. Part of the procedure is to detach reshape and reattach them so I guess how they react is relevant.

My nipples' reaction to the exam definitely surprises me.

"a good 10 minutes on each nipple". .That seems like the doings of a lecherous old bastard & not that of a man of professional community standing.

I can't believe I missed this poll question! It seems that we all tend to produce erect nipples when in the exam room for a variety of reasons that I also share. Mine react after I have undressed and the process begins. They always have from as early as I can recall. There is something about sitting their knowing all is to be shown and explored that sends a signal for my nipples to appear in all their glory!

Yes mine certainly become erect not sure but likely mix of exposure /temp change and the physical sensation during. I adore having my breasts and nipples stimulated.

Regarding the OP no I don't think they spend any additional time checking inverted nipples Certainly if your nipple changes and becomes inverted you should seek a medical opinion but if born that way it's not really an issue as far as my understanding goes.

My eldest has an inverted nipple and our dr hadn't even really mentioned it and it's just how we are made. But going from normal to inverted can be a sign of malignancy.

Ugh yes and I hate it lol

Yes that happens, it is something instinctive, the human body does it without being able to control it, it happens more if they are examined and touched.

Having large (for a man) firm breasts with nipples that get erect when sitting on exam table bare chested I find it very very embarrassing.

If the room is cold then yes.

It happens but not really for a sexual reason. It just tends to be cold...

I had an inverted nipple in my recent physical and she spent a long time on that one. She tried to stimulate it by covering my breast then palpating the side just under my arm pit. I was super aroused and I quickly looked down at what she was doing . She smiled at me then opened the gown with her fingers to peek at my nipple. Aparently it woke up bc she smiled and nodded her head and moved on to the rest of the exam. She didn't do that on the other breast.

I did not remember having my nipples erect during a medical exam, except if the examination room is cold. In this case, it is just a natural and spontaneous reaction of the mamelon, nothing to see with arousal. I must add that it is totally different if the exam is part of a role-play.

I am a little surprised by all the comments targeting the fact that the breast reacts to the fact that it is cold in the consultation room.

A priori, a gynecological examination requires the patient to be quite undressed. So I can't imagine this being done in a room where the temperature is too cool.

On the contrary, we tend to overheat the rooms.

I also can't imagine that the professional would take pleasure in exciting the nipple.

It is therefore, in my opinion, a natural reaction of the human body which means that, in some women, palpation of the chest causes a semi-erection of the nipple.

On the other hand, from experience, I note that, since I always start the consultation with the chest, the next step which consists of inserting a speculum into the vagina is facilitated.

We could therefore conclude that palpation of the breasts, which in this case is not sensual, leads to increased lubrication for certain patients.

I would like to add a personnal comment about what was recently written, ( Hi! Franklin58200) about the reactions of the nipples during a examination. First of all, it is not the most of the cases that the examination room is cold, you are right, but it happened once to me, I had an appointment at my gyno one monday morning, I was the first patient and the medical office did not have been heated during all the week end, that's why it was a bit cold.

About the reaction of the nipple at the act of palpation, as you say, it may induce a natural semi-erection of the nipple on some patients but I don't think it concerns all women. Maybe, the act of palpation, although it remains medical and professionnal, can be unconsciously interpretated as a sensual act by the mind of the woman. If this supposition is true, it could explain the beginning of vaginal lubrication , which of course, facilitates the insertion of the speculum.

In an ideal world every gynecologist would have a nice toasty exam room, but that is definitely not the case in my experience. (And a lot of breast exams are conducted by family doctors who likely have the majority of the day's appointments with clothed patients.) And a lot of the time it's the receptionist or nurse who sets the temperature for the clinic, and a lot of them seem to be women in their middle years who set the thermostat to something comfortable for a menopausal person having hot flashes. Just speculation on my part there, but I have had more exams in chilly rooms than warm ones.

My nipples become very erect when the doctor is palpation my breasts, it's just an automatic reaction. By the time he "milks" the teat to test for discharge after examining each breast, they are so hard they are almost painful...I used to get embarrassed but now I just go with it!

I've only been examined in clinics in the United States. Not one room has been warmed, they're always freezing cold. My large nipples are really hard before the doctor starts the exam.

Where I go for my mammogram it's especially embarrassing but at least I get to wear my pants and shoes. I have to walk from the dressing room and down the hall in a thin knit robe with hard nipples. There's a glass office enclosure with both men and women working inside.

One time I wasn't expecting to see another male patient in the mammogram/ultrasound area. He looked towards me but I don't know how much he saw of me in my knit robe. I was trying to keep the robe so my cleavage wasn't visible, not much I could do about my nipples. I never thought to ask for another robe.

Oh yes. It’s always so cold and I’m pretty sure it’s a requirement for doctors to have cold hands!

The only thing I've heard my wife complain about is the big squeeze. Whenever I've been anywhere at our hospital it's been freezing to me.

As far as the possibility of being seen whenever I'm in for an exam I feel we're all adults and know what the opposite sex looks like so who cares?

Yes, mine do get hard sometimes. It can be when I'm waiting for the doctor to come in or when the doctor is about to examine them.

@Franklin58200

In France the gyno room may be warm but in the US they are rarely warm. Once I switched to female gynos, the rooms stopped being so cold. When I asked a doc who was male why the rooms were so cold, he replied well they had on their clothes under their lab coats and were moving and got warm so they kept the rooms cooler for them. I pointed out the women were not wearing much and were cold and he shrugged his shoulders. It isn't only gyno rooms that are cold, other docs keep their exam rooms cold too. I went into an urgent care when I came down with bronchitis and was taken to an exam room that was like a fridge which triggered my coughing from the cold. (Cold air triggers my asthma.) I stood outside the door while waiting and they kept trying to put me into the room and I refused stating why. Finally, a manager put me in a room that was not like a fridge. Some docs are good about it. My asthma doc keeps room heaters in her exam rooms and turns them on for patients for just this reason. Huge difference.

I don't want to be critical of an entire nationality of physicians, but I do think it's very strange for French doctors to be naked underneath their lab coats!

@BottomFromTheTop :

I think you misinterpreted the post by @Jacana

What he meant was that the reputation of doctors in France is that they carry out their consultations in street clothes and do not take the care of wearing a protective coat.

This is somewhat true but often exaggerated.

First of all, in hospital consultations, the gown is required and for consultations in private practice it all depends on the medical specialty.

In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has been there and, a priori, specialists in gynecology (or in radiology which is the specialty in charge of carrying out mammograms) practitioners regularly wear a white coat.

I have small inverted nipples. My regular gyn doc does not take special attention of them and does just a basic breast exam with me.

My playdoc spends a lot of time and attention and does very thorough breast and nipple exam with me.

@Kathi43 that sounds amazing!

Inverted nipples really fascinate me, so I hope to get to play with / examine some one day.

To all of you whose nipples become erect for whatever reason, whether during an exam, walking down the street in a breeze, manual manipulation by the doctor, your husband, your SO or yourself, or anyone or anything : BE GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL. I am sure there are others out there who will understand the following. I am a breast cancer survivor and very happy about the results of my surgery. No chemo, no radiation, only maintenance drugs to help with estrogen production. Five plus years now and still clear. However, the surgery took both of my breasts, both nipples, and eleven lymph nodes. I have had reconstructive surgery and that has been successful. But there are no surgeries that can replace the tactile feelings of my original nipples. My nipples were a major factor in our foreplay and sexual activities. This is no longer the case, but I am not very likely to face breast cancer again because of the decisions we made. I have been screened for BRCA1 and BRCA2 and the results were negative. This does not guarantee our three daughters will not have breast cancer, but it will not be hereditary. Now my husband and I share his nipples which are large and very sensitive. (He even keeps his chest shaved to better simulate the smoothness and emphasize his nipples erection and sensitivity.) I miss my nipples, but enjoy his. So for those who have nipples and can feel the cold air, or the touch of the medical professional's hand, or even the light touch of the breeze as you stroll down the street, PLEASE ENJOY IT AND BE THANKFUL ! ! !

Glad to hear you surgery turned out well, apart from the loss of nipple sensitivity @DommeOB . A small price to pay for recovery, although I don't doubt you miss it a lot.

Hope you stay cancer clear, and your daughters too.

Thank you LordJim2, and all of those who read and liked my post. I am lucky in lots of ways, great support from my husband, children, other family and friends. Good advice from great doctors and care from medical personnel, pre-op and post-op. Great, skilled, supportive, and patient reconstructive staff. There is life (and love and sex) after breast cancer. Hope others will share their stories. DommeOB

Last Tuesday had breasts exam by male surgeon. Good that was pretty warm inside. Was quick interview about cancers and signs why I was there. Doctor order me to take off my bra and bluse and wishes good luck by women's day. 😂 Then he order to lye on the table and palpate my breasts. And then slowly made ultrasound under armpits as well. And told me that's fine and on next year he order next check up. I need to wipe myself. Was full of jelly
