Is it normal for a physical exam to include breast exam?!


Question: Yes, even for men. You need to become familiar with what is a normal breast exam---what steps are involved so you can tell if your doctor is examining or fondling. Most doctors have a female in the room just to 'protect' themselves against misconduct charges.

Make sure you learn to do self breast exams (especially if there is a family history) and don't forget your mammogram if you're old enough. If you're also having a PAP test they won't schedule you around the time of your period. Breasts become harder and tender at this time and there are also cervical/uterine changes occurring that can skew a PAP.

definatly yes.breast is a part of body.

Yes. It's part of your body that can cause problems, so it should be checked.

of course. they will feel on it becuase maybe a doctor will notice a bump or see the nipples that may have something out of the ordinary. just make sure if you have your period to tell them because your boobs get hard around when you get your period so like that the doctor doesn't think you have tumors.

also they'll just peek and look at your vagina for something weird that isn't suppose to be. they also may smell some odor if anything maybe the problem.

hope i answered your question
