I think the doctor is just being very thorough. If she is a new and young doctor it may be the way they are being trained to carry out breast exams now. Breast cancer rates are on the rise worldwide so every womanWomen's way has to be more vigilant and so too doctors. Be grateful you don't have breast cancer. I only wish my doctor during my wellness program at work was so thorough. I was 39 when I had my medical check last year in June and she found nothing only for a lump to appear exactly 2 months later!!!
Hi,
Well there is a difference between a breast self exam and a physician's clinical evaluation. The doctor might be wanting to be absolutely thorough with the examination. You can relax and next time do point it to her if you were uncomfortanle or it caused you pain. Also any nipple discharge that you notice should be reported to your doctor, but you done have to squeeze your nipples for it. Some discharge at the time of breast self examination or squeezing of the nipple is normal. Goodluck.
