I have read about Totally Unnecessary Breast Exams. Women go to the doctor for something not related and end up having a breast exam. Like going in with a cold and getting a breast exam, or another one a young women with large breasts got regular breast exmas from her male gp and when she asked why he said it was because women with big breasts are more likely to get breast cancer??????

Early detection of breast cancer should not be considered "unnecessary" any more than suggesting regular pap smears are unnecessary. If you drive your car into a filling station and they check your oil as well, that too would be unnecessary if you only wanted fuel. It is those unnecessary things which may prevent a much more serious result later. Due diligence on the part of a physician is to be commended since early detection is the key to a successful outcome. When seen in that context, I believe there is no such thing as an unnecessary breast exam.

Dr Feelgood, large breasts are not more likely to develop breast cancer however the chances of missing a lump while it is still small are greater.

Hey there DrJ58 i was not trying to trivialise this matter but wanted to creat a discussion!!!! :-)

It is just that some women have reported TUBE....

No worries Dr. Feelgood. It is perhaps a good reminder that all PlayDocs should go out and do as many breast exams as they can. Personally I am always prepared to examine any girl I meet. 😉

Dr Feelgood,

I agree with DrJ58. I happen to be blest with a large breasts. Yes, lumps and irregularities are harder to find with a physical exam if they are not superficial.
