Stethoscope Chest Piece placed directly on the Nipple ?

Hi,

just one question, to females and males at the same time: Did your Doctor place the chest Piece of her/his Stethoscope ever directly on the nipple when auscultating your heart?

How did your react - except which hardening of your nipple ;-)

Background of my question: The younger sister of a GF told her, that their Family doc had put his Stethoscope straight onto her left nipple during heart auscultation - and then onto her right nipple, too !!! My GF told me this, and he had done the same Thing to her, as well !!! I had a terrible hard on when I imagined that.

So, please tell me if you ever had the same experience during Stethoscope exam - thank you very much.

If a real doctor actually did this then I think he was acting inappropriately. In a play exam it's whatever the doc and patient agree to.

Unless the patient is quite flat chested, the doctor would not hear much of anything on her nipple. Even on a flat chested woman, the 5th intercostal space where the apex of her heart is, is going to be about 2 inches south of her left nipple.

According to my memory, all doctors who have listened to my heart, GP as well as cardiologists, have allways placed the chest piece of their stethoscope just below my left nipple but never on it. I remember during a recent exam, a young female cardiologist touched my nipple by accident and apologized about it.

Over the nipple would be a weird locaton to listen to a heartbeat

If a real doctor actually did this then I think he was acting inappropriately. In a play exam it's whatever the doc and patient agree to.

Yes, of course,in Play exams,Steth on the nipple is quite usual :-) We even suck the nipple with the Stethoscope bell through the earpieces with the mouth !!!

That's amazing, try it !!!

No. it's never happened to me in a real exam and I have never done it in a play exam

Bell just below the left nipple is quite normal though

There is only one word to describe this: RIDICULOUS

This would never happen in a real exam.

I would love this to happen to me with a REALLY cold stethoscope 😉

Would be such an amazing experience

Sadly I think this is confined to play exams

Placing the stethoscope directly on the nipple is never suggested and counterproductive in people with substantial breast tissue. Breast tissue will absorb sound energy making it difficult or impossible to hear lung or heart sounds.

In play, go for it!

Even though it feels great to have the doctor place the stethoscope directly over my nipple.....in face I was looking forward to it at my last checkup....I always pass on doing it during a play exam....I always go for the sound and finding the best location on her chest so that I can hear that sound of her valves open and close. I love to play with/suck on a woman's nipples but I LOVE her Heart sounds even more! Valve sounds = HOT!

I dont think my doctor has ever placed her stethoscope directly on my nipples. Although she has brushed against them the with a finger before.

Hi,

I agree with you, this should never happen in a real exam, but what the Girls told me, was absolutely gredible !!! I have to add, that this particular doctor was rather old and "mighty" - he knew the Girls already when they were small children, and they never would have dared to contadict. And the younger of the two sisters was extremely busted had had superb puffies. So, at least, one can understand a bit the attitude of the doctor :-)

I've never had the stethoscope placed directly over a nipple during any real medical examination. It may have inadvertently made slight contact with the edge if the areola but that's about it, certainly not deliberately placed directly on it.

If my doctor wanted to hear my Heart pound hard against her stethoscope she would place the diaphragm/bell right on my left nipple or close enough to it that she had to touch it while she listened close by! As I have said before, I don't find my doctor overly attractive but she IS a doctor, IS a woman, HAS a stethoscope , and NEEDS to listen to my Heart in order to do her job.... And that makes her VERY attractive to me! Even though she didn't listen to my Heart and it's valves when I last saw her( her loss!), as I sat there on the exam table with my shirt off.... Had she touched my nipple with her purple Littmann stethoscope or her finger while she was listening to my Heart pumping away..... I know that I would have had the biggest erection of my life even though I was trying to act indifferent to the whole exam so my Heart wouldn't be pounding beyond control. I am also pretty sure that if she had touched my nipple AND made some comment about how my Heart sounded like "Strong","Healthy" or even just made a sound while she listened like" mmmm" I would have cum in my pants! Sorry, didn't mean to get off topic and hijack this thread.

I have never placed the chest piece over the nipple.

That indicates the doctor in question acted inappropriately and should be reported.

Hi!

Another interessting article to read about this Topic, Rockdoc!

OK, it's a bit lengthy, but very interessting, I find - try to imagine the details...

Would appear there are definitely a few dubious docs out there in the real world!

Only in play exams if requested by play patient. Real exams no. In the US, doctor's usually avoid touching nipples with the stethoscope. I've noticed now that if a doctor has to examine a sensitive part of the body, they ask first??? In the old days doctor's just touched the patient and went about the exam like nothing ever happened. I guess with lawsuits, the malpractice insurance requires asking and taking precautions when examining patients.

Unfortunately, a majority of the times I've been stethed by a doctor, they listened over my shirt. But as a kid (before I knew all the proper listening areas), I thought, or at least it felt like, that's where doctors were trying to listen. I'm guessing they were in my mitral area or something, but that was a long time ago, so I'm not sure. Plus, I've auscultated myself directly on my nipple before, and I was surprised that it actually doesn't work very well, at least for me.

As Switchablesusie stated it would be RIDICULOUS, there is no clinical reason to place the stethoscope directly onto the nipple.

Where to place your stethoscope:

Auscultation should proceed in a logical manner over 4 general areas on the anterior chest, beginning with the patient in the supine position.

The 4 percordial areas are examined with diaphragm, including:

Aortic region (between the 2nd and 3rd intercostal spaces at the right sternal border) (RUSB – right upper sternal border).

Pulmonic region (between the 2nd and 3rd intercostal spaces at the left sternal border) (LUSB – left upper sternal border).

Tricuspid region (between the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th intercostal spaces at the left sternal border) (LLSB – left lower sternal border).

Mitral region (near the apex of the heard between the 5th and 6th intercostal spaces in the mid-clavicular line) (apex of the heart).

After this initial examination in the supine positions, several additional maneuvers should be accomplished in the thorough cardiac exam, as follows:

Instruct the patient to turn onto their left side (left decubitus position) and listen with the bell of the stethoscope at the apex for mitral stenosis (low pitched diastolic murmur).

Instruct the patient to sit upright and re-examine the 4 percordial regions, again with the diaphragm of the stethoscope.

Instruct the patient to lean forward, exhale, and hold their breath. Listen with the diaphragm between the second and third intercostal spaces at the right sternal (aortic) and left sternal (pulmonic) areas for aortic regurgitation.

Thank you, Professor RN1993 for your scientific lesson in Auscultation!

I totally agree.

PS.: ...but in PlayDoc exams, it's great fun, though ;-)

As for me it is very weird thing to put stethoscope directly on the left nipple because as for me it is very unprofessional. I noticed that many doctors from Eastern Europe prefer apex spot as the first spot to begin listening the heartbeat. Three days ago one lithuanian female doctor listened to my heart for a while and she stayed with her steth on my apex or just below my left nipple but never on my nipple. To say the truth it is my favorite spot to listen to smb's heart. I like to observe other people being examinated heart on this spot. But I dislike seeing such unprofessional conduct of a doctor even playdoctor whe he or she puts the stethoscope piece directly on the left nipple as well as if a doctor puts the stethoscope on the chest out of spots of auscultation of the heart even in play exams, For me it is not great fun

In a real exam, I don't think it has ever happened. However, in a play exam, it happens all the time and is something to look forward to.

Just for playexams 😃

Never happened during a real exam...and never during a play too 😃

Not for a real exam. Never had a play exam but for a real one it probably would never happen. I love when it's just below my left nipple under my breast. I'm not that big so nothing has to get moved to get a good listen.

It would be totally ridiculous to listen right over the nipple. That's not the correct place to hear anything. In addition the underlying fatty tissue of the breast would act as an insulator diminishing the heart sounds.
