Eye Contact During Exams?

How many of you women make eye contact with your examiner while they are performing your breast exam and/or pelvic? The pelvic is probably more difficult, but during the breast exam, do you ladies avert your eyes or make eye contact with the doctor? Why? Do doctors make eye contact with you? Do they stare at your breasts while they are palpating them, or do they avert their eyes once they get their hands in the right position? What is it like to make eye contact with the doctor while they are performing a breast exam?

I make eye contact with my various doctors when they are examining me. When they are examining my breasts or doing a pelvic exam I lasciviously lick my lips and moan. -- Just kidding. 😁 😁

Usually the table is raised at the head, so I can see pretty well. They don't stare when examining the breasts, but they do look so see what they are palpating.

I am someone who has always been big on keeping eye contact as much as possible at all times whenever interacting with everyone. My GYN and GP included. Maintaining continuous eye contact during an exam is not possible though frequent eye contact back and forth is maintained as much as possible. For my pelvic exams I am usually quite flat on my back with a small pillow under my head. Makes it a challenge to maintain constant eye contact.

I always try to keep eye contact with patients at appropriate moments, it's important to ensure that you are getting feedback from the patient and a lot of that is in the eye contact.
