Breast Examination
7 Answers
Hi all I'm going to have my breast examined at the hospital this week as I have recently found a lump.
I know that the consultant is a man which will be quite uncomfortable but does there have to be someone else present when he does examine me as well?

When you go to the hospital, you will probably get a Mammogram. This is done by machine and the Radiologists are normally female.
If you see a Consultant, they have a Specialist Nurse present or a Female Doctor who will carry out the examination.
They are aware that some women feel awkwards, so they have females present at all times. Nothing at all to worry about.
Good Luck. xx

Hi Sonak,
You will probably have to have both but it is not too bad.
They do allow you dignity while having those tests.
I have just been through it all myself, so do not worry too much about it.
I required an operation and the first time I saw my Consultant was after the examinations, then after the operation.
Mine was pre-cancerous but they were removed.
I am still off work but hoping to return soon.
I am sure it will be a simple blocked duct or fibroid that you have, possibly even nothing.
Do not worry about it.
I am sure you will be fine.
All the best and keep me updated. xx
