Female Steth Exams Bra on or off?

I have had it done both ways by the same doctor. When I went to her with pneumonia symptoms and went to her I didn't have to take my bra off. It it is for a full physical I have a gown on and of course no bra.

All the time at both my gp and my obgyn my bra is off and I am topless. I have the flimsy paper gown on but it barely covers my large breasts and stomach. And it is removed for my lung and heart exam anyway. Of course that makes my heart race and my gp has often commented on how fast my heart is beating, even asking me to take deep breaths to slow it down because he’s concerned about the rate.

For me, these are always interesting situations. I have very big breasts and the doctors have always been confused with them because they are quite high-set. When I have a bra, it is almost impossible to hear my heart's work. The doc. always aske me to remove my bra. Then older and experienced doctors have no problem, but the young are completely confused because they do not know which side they would listen to. Some lifted my breasts, some asked me to hold them. Finally, one said it was impossible and he would listen only from the dorsal side. Auscultation It's for me the biggest fun.

It depends on what other exams my dr is going to do, but for work it is topless. At hospital you wear a gown and naked underneath.

It very much depends on why I'm there and which doctor I'm seeing. For my annual physical with our internist or my annual Gyn exam, my bra is already off. For a sick visit with the internist, my shirt is likely off but my bra may or may not be on. For followup appointments with specialists, for the most part, my shirt and bra are typically on and they do a quick listen under my shirt, but again, that is subject to the reason for the visit and how much of an in depth exam they plan to do.

All throughout high school in physical exams it was either bra lifted up or off. My last physical was shirt and bra lifted. Only a few times have I had bra on and top off

I am shocked to see that there are doctors in the US asking to auscultate women without a shirt and bra. I don't remember the last time a medical professional put a stethoscope on bare skin! At my gynecologist appointments, they listened over the cloth gown. They spend most of the visit typing on the computer!

I think the annoyance of having doctors go through the motions with me and getting me through the visits as fast as possible is why this fetish developed as an adult. Also, having to pay monthly premiums, co pays, and surprise bills (what insurance doesn't pay 🤬) is very frustrating.

My fiancee always had her bra on during auscultation, except once where she had to be topless for her life insurance exam, performed by a male doctor.

The same applies to my exes, bra was on almost always. However, during a preemployment exam, one of my ex girlfriends had to be topless for auscultation, doctor insisted on that. He also performed a breast exam immediately after auscultation, so that may be the reason.
