Answers:
WELL any doctor/provider has been trained and has experience in checking breasts/breast lumps but for my money I would want to see someone with the most experience and that would be a gyno!. It doesn't have to be a doctor!. I am a nurse practitioner and have checked more breasts than most doctors!.!.!.!.maybe thousands!. It is usually part of your yearly female exam!.!.!.if it is not ASK for a breast exam! And learn to check your own breasts monthly if you already don't do it!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a podiatrist is the better choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OB/GYN!.!.!. you want the best and you probably will be sent in for a mammogram to see what is going on

A regular family doctor will know how to check for it!. If they don't, they just won't do it ans will recommend someone else!. Gyno may be the better choice only because they specialize in the body of a woman!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think either one!. i went to my family doctor for years for my yearly exams and just now started going to a gyno so i think as long as you trust your family doctor and is comfortable with him/or her then you should be fine sticking with your normal DRWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would rather my gyno do it only because I trust them and they're chicks and they understand!. Plus I've been going to them for 16 years, so they know me!. Being I only go to my regular doctor for problems (like once or twice a year) and he's a dude, I'd feel weird having him check!. You should be self-checking monthly, though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
