The end of November 2007 I had a physical done for a wellness program at work. I am 39 and have been having breast exams for a long time now. This is the first time the doctor (young woman just joined the practice this past summer) squeezed my nipples herself. She had already asked if I had any discharge from them and I said no, never have. I was uncomfortable with her doing this and did not say anything at the time as I was shocked and not sure what to do. I could understand the doctor asking the patient to do that if she wanted to be sure there was no abnormal discharge but I am not so sure about her doing that herself? I just looked at (3) self exam websites, 2 of 3 do not include squeezing the nipples as a part of the exam.
As professionals, what do you suggest?
