First time your doctor examined your breasts?

Females--how old and how developed were you the first time a doctor examined your breasts? Male or female doctor? Pediatrician, GP, or ob/gyn? Did you get to keep your bra on until the breast exam or did you already have it off when the doctor listened to your chest?

I was 15, fully developed C cup, very old male family GP, I took my bra off for the breast exam, and then it stayed off for the rest of the exam

I believe I was in high school. It would have been during an annual physical. I don't remember the first one per se, but I do remember ones from that era. I would have been nude in a cloth gown that opens at the back. My family doc is female, and only does them with me lying down, not sitting up. I wish she did them with me sitting up. She also didn't touch my nipples, unfortunately.

I was sixteen and wearing a 32B bra. It was my first pelvic exam also. My doctor was a male Ob/Gyn about 45. I wasd in a gown and a sheet. All my clothes were on the chair.

Ladies, would you please share your experiences regarding your first breast exam. Did the doctor provide you with any literature on the topic of self exams? Did the doctor guide you through the process of performing a self exam? What was your state of undress prior to the breast exam? What was the reason for your visit to the doctor? Were you alone or were others present? Did you have prior knowledge that your breasts would be examined? How old were you? How developed were you? In what positions were your breasts examined?

I think my first proper breast exam was in my early teen years around 13.

It was a routine check up so I didn't have any breast complaint. Was already wearing a gown at this stage for the exams aspect before the breast exam.

She talked about the need for breast exams that as get older should get used to self exams but didn't provide any leaflets or information beyond that.

First I was sitting up and told to put hands on the small of my back and she looked, I know now that was for symmetry etc.

Then sitting back she examined each Brest before lowering the back of the bed and repeating. I can't imagine I was partially developed b cup really.

Uhm... first breast exam was age ago... Lol.

Well it was a routine exam so nothing to worry, I was in my late teen or probably already twenty, I don't remember much. It was explained to me what was going to happen and why, how my breast had already developed and how I should check and why.

Then the exam went almost the same as Molliewhite described. I remember being a little embarassed and annoyed at the same time. The glory of being young. You don't think that any illness can befall you so anything done to prevent something that "could happen later in the future" is surely annoying. 😉

I was 14 when my doctor performed a complete breast exam. Until then, she had looked at them but now was feeling them and also checking lymph glands as well as my nipples. From then on out, it was part of my exam that also began to include an internal and rectal as i matured.

Before I start, I'm male but was born female. Unfortunately I still have to have these exams until they're removed.

My first proper breast exam was when I went to my first gyno exam, aged about 18. I'd been reading about exams on the Internet for years so knew what to expect, but it becoming a reality made me nervous. I was a fully developed D cup.

I was in a gown that had gradually been lowered as she did her thing with the stethoscope. She then explained to me that she was about to do a breast exam, and that it might feel uncomfortable but it was important to make sure I was healthy.

She dropped the gown to my waist and asked me to out my arms in various positions like on my hips and above my head. While I was doing that she also asked me if I'd had any problems with my breasts and I confirmes I didn't.

She then started feeling along the collar bone and under my right arm before working in circles toward my nipple. She repeated that a few times, going deeper and pressing my nipple on the final one. Repeated it on the other side then when I was lying on my back, with a hand behind my head and at my side.

I hate that I've got such large breasts and this was really he first time anyone has seen them ( I'd had sex, but they were covered). It probably only took a couple of minutes but felt much longer. Although I don't like them, being exposed was definitely a turn on.

My first breast exam was at 19 during my first well woman exam. I had an exam gown on. Before the breast exam the nurse practitioner asked if I did monthly exams myself. At that point it was sporadic and probably not in the correct way. She gave me a brochure to take with me explaining the importance of breast exams. She also gave me this waterproof hangtag that would hang on the shower head explaining how to give an exam. She then had me lower the top part of my gown and place my arms in various positions. While I was still sitting up, she did an exam. Then I laid down and put my arms over my head for another exam.

It was just me and her in the exam room. (The nurse wasn't called in until it was time for the pelvic and pap.)

My first breast exam was last month when I went to see my private gynecologist for the first time. I was wearing a gown which I thought got in the way. He told me what I should do for a self exam and I told him I knew a bit about it but my husband carefully examines my breasts himself a few days after the end of my cycle. The nurse helped me drop the gown off my breasts. My gynecologist got me to do what my husband tells me to do with the different arm positions on my hips and behind my head but he did it in a different order, which I don't think matters. He pressed his fingers flat and went around each breast in a spiral out away from my nipples. I did not notice any big difference to how my husband does it. I think he checked my armpits like my husband does as well.

I was having a full exam because my mum has had problems with breast lumps and other problems that I could inherit. There was only my gynecologist and his nurse to assist him. Next time I will have my husband with me too. I am 28 so I had the exam for women under 30 which included a breast exam.

My first one was around 13-14. I was a late bloomer. I was jealous of my friends and especially my sister. My mother told the doctor about it. She had never touched me there like that before. She did a fast exam and said I was just fine. By the way I was still flat at the time.

At age 9 I started to develop, age 10, I was clearly busting out! My GP taught me to examine my breasts and explained why. It was no big deal, as I had grown up with him and was quite ust' to auscultation on bare skin due to my asthma along with a history of heart problems in my family and basic exam of nodes and such already. Each exam, each yr after would take a bit longer as I continued to develop. Always very thorough, sitting and laying back, raising my arms, leaning forward etc. No big deal, not arousing, not erotic, not embarrassing etc. I was completely comfortable with my GP/FP with no need for a chaperone or my mom to be in the exam room.

I don't recall that my doctor gave me any literature on the topic of self-exams. I just learned about them first from reading a book about how girls developed. Later, he told me how to do the self-exams, but I don't think he gave me any literature. When he told me about doing self-exams, yes, he did guide me through the process. Before the breast exam I was in my bra and panties (I was 12 and hadn't started getting a gown yet). The visit was for an annual checkup. My mom was in the room. I didn't have any prior knowledge that I was going to get a breast exam, but the doctor had seen me with my top off before. I was just developed enough to start wearing a bra, probably a 32A. I was examined lying on my back.

I was about 10. That is when I started developing and I was only in my panties. I don't remember what was done.... too long ago

I remember I was probably about 10 or so. I remember sitting on the table, probably had on a paper gown that the pediatricians office used. I was allowed to keep my undies on and that was fine with me. I was with my mom. I remember the doctor poking around on my developing breasts. I remember him turning off the light and shining a flashlight under them so that he could see through them. I remember my mom and I both thought that was really cool. I don't remember being embarrassed or anything. I was at the doctor all the time anyways (I always had ear infections or strep throat about every month) so it didn't bother me. I was innocent then and it didn't bother me. I do remember a few times after that I looked at myself in the mirror in the dark with the flashlight on to see the veins and stuff. It was cool!

Great stories and experiences. Thanks to all for sharing.

I started receiving a breast exam at 12 from a female family doctor. It was during a normal exam, a checkup, and Mom was in the room with me along with the doctor. I was wearing a gown, with bra removed and panties on. At the first one I was laying down and it was more looking than anything else as I was still pretty flat chested at that time, but breast buds were clearly evident.

The exam the following year at 13 did include palpation of each breast as I was much more developed but still an A cup. It was done with me laying down on the table, arms raised above my head. She palpated the entire breast area, felt the glands under my arms and palpated each areola and nipple, but didn't give it a squeeze. She also taught me about self breast exams and the importance of doing them monthly during that exam. But that exam with my family doctor was not as thorough as the one I later received at my first gyn exam and now.

The only time I remember my GP examining my breast was when I 13 I was late bloomer too. I remember wearing a paper gown and had everything off except my panties and socks. I remember him having me take my arms out of the gown and lowering it down which made me feel really embarrased at the time, and then he palpated both my breasts to check them I remember his hand feeling really icy on my skin.

Ok so I was 16 had a boyfriend and he wanted to have sex so went to planned parenthood wow that was unexpected to my surprise the dr was old really old rough too. They put me in this room was asked to take everything off and there was only a paper sheet. Hmmm I thought this is not looking to good as far as being covered. I'd never had anything examined in my private area before. So the doc came in introduced himself shook my hand and asked few questions regarding form I filled out. Then it was on no waste of time the sheet did have holes for my arms thank god, so he took my arms out and lowered the sheet both of my boobies were out for all to see. He looked and felt them I think he may have squeezed my nipples don't remember then helped me put my arms back in the sheet. Not ever having an exam before and not having the Internet to look stuff up as this was back in the late 80's I really didn't know what to expect. He put my feet in the stirrups pushed open my legs and began to touch my lips I was natural down there so he was spreading my hair looking around. I do remember two things he pulled back my hood to expose my clit didn't touch but I felt it pop out. And when he entered me with his big fingers it was very painful never having a dildo or sex and he did put his big finger up my tight anal ring. After all was said and done I was pretty turned on I think I might have a small bit of submissive nature in me because I still like going.

I had a kinda-sorta breast exam from our family doctor when I was around 14- I wasn't really developed at all, and he seemed uncomfortable doing it, so it was a quick nudge on each side and done.

My firth thorough breast exam was done when I was 16/17ish and going to the gyn for my first visit there. I had no idea what was going to happen at the exam, and was mortified to be laying on the table with my gown open and my small breasts exposed to the room. Luckily they had asked my mother to step out because that would have been even worse! The doctor was EXTREMELY thorough- It felt like it went on forever. I remember him doing up and down lines, side to side lines, and then going around them again in a circular pattern. Perhaps it's in my head, but it seemed then and still now seems excessive.

Fast forward to present day and I wish I had an exam that thorough today! I'd hate/love it all at the same time!

My first and only breast exam till date has been the one done at my university physical.

The doctor didnt provide any literature about breast self exams but while she examined my breasts she explained me the need and importance of the same. She did not guide through the process though.

The breast exam was part of a minor physical. Prior to the breast exam I had my heart and lungs examined and a basic eye exam. Both these exams were conducted in different rooms so when I entered this room I was fully dressed, wearing jeans and T-shirt. Prior to the exam the doctor asked me few questions about my periods and then I was asked to strip to wiast.

There was nobody else in the room apart from the doctor.

I didnt specifically know about the breast exam because we were not given the list of exams that we will have to undergo, but on seeing a queue of girls outside the exam room having a screen to protect visibility from outside, I could guess a bit about what was to follow.

At the time of the exam I was 18.

I was well developed with a 34B breasts

My breasts were examined in the sitting position, with doctor asking me to raise my arms ove rmy head each time while she palpated the breasts

How old and how developed were you the first time a doctor examined your breasts? Was the doctor a pediatrician, family practice/GP, gyno? Male or female doctor?

@steth I was 18 at the time, My breasts were fully developed.... Almost😃

The doctor was a female Gyn

Female internal medicine practitioner. It was my first "well woman" exam. I was completely naked in a gown and sheet. No one was in the room for the breast exam, but she called her nurse in for the vaginal that followed. No discussion about self exams, and I was 20. She was great, and there was no embarrassment (sadly). She retired shortly thereafter, and my insurance transferred me to a male internist ... while I would love to have that examine performed by a male (play or real) doctor today, at the time, the thought mortified me. So ... I never did. Just swapped and saw an obgyn going forward.

Hi,

very intresting reports. I also would love to hear at what age you had yor first mammogram...

Gyno

Hey ladies, just curious how old you were when your doctor examined your breasts?

First time you were told to remove your bra?

First time your doctor visually examined your breasts?

First time your doctor physically examined your breasts?

I was preteen early teens when my doctor first examined my breasts. Around the same time I was first asked to remove my bra and when the visual and physical examinations happened.

The doctor always did a visual exam of my chest as far back as I can remember. When I was around 11 or 12 he always had me put on a paper gown during my physicals.

I think I was 12 or 13 the first time he did more than a visual exam. He had me sitting on the table and lowered my gown exposing my breasts. Then he felt all around them, which was causing some funny feelings for me. Then he told me to lay down and asked a nurse to help me practice looking for lumps. I was so embarrassed and excited at the same time. I probably had a deer in the headlights type of expression on my face.

I think I posted on this a long time ago but not the same post or questions.

I was a late bloomer so to speak. My sister's girlfriends always teased me because at 12 I hadn't even started budding. I didn't have pubic hair or started my period. To some, it may not sound like a big deal but I would not even change in front of my sister's friends because they would always tease me. I was getting a complex. I told mom I was worried. Well, the next time I was at the doctor she pressed all around my breasts area and did her usual visual below. It was weird because a lot happened that year. I had not even started masturbating yet. I didn't start that until I caught my sister later that year. The doctor assured me that I was perfectly fine and that some girls develop at a slower rate. I wasn't embarrassed at all by the doctor feeling around my breasts. I mean I had always been in just panties anyway. Once I started budding is when I got a gown.
