Simply request a female specialist. Sometimes I get an argument about why but I just tell them, I have to have a female physician. If your doctor or insurance company insists on knowing why, tell tell what you are comfortable saying.  I just told the clinic that it was a faith issue and they immediately found me a female doctor.
I know you are young but if you are concerned about your breast, don't put off seeing a doctor.  God Bless.
