What's wrong with getting a breast exam?

Nope she was NOT over reacting.  She was right on the money.  You want to show them off so much, that you have even figured out a way to do it here.\n\nIf I were her, I would drop you as a friend like a hot potato. You are obviously so self-centered that it blurrs your vision of everything else.

Do monthly self-exams of your breasts to check for any small lumps.  That is the best early detection, and can help you to treat or remove lumps before they become cancerous or dangerous.  If you find a lump, see your doctor right away to determine if it's cancerous or just fluid (that can happen sometimes too).  Here's a website to help you learn how to do a self-exam:\nhttp://www.komen.org/bse/

I know you say that you can't afford it, but you need to see a doctor. Most likely it's nothing, but it's worthy of investigation. I've been where you are...no insurance, suspicious lump (in my breast), there are places that you can go to get help. Call your local health department and see what services they offer for people in your position, they may also be able to point you in the direction of a low or no cost clinic in your area. Also, contact your local hospital, most offer charity care which would cover all or part of your bill based on your income. Good luck.

hmm...\n\na high probability of severely debilitating, life-threatening, painful cancer that you might die from and likely have to loose your breasts anyways....\nOR\nget rid of the boobs, get implants, and reduce your  chance of developing breast cancer by 90%\n\n(don't judge, if you don't understand)

From a professional standpoint I would get it checked.  There are programs out there to help you cover the costs of medical expenses.  A doctor cannot refuse you treatment due to inability to pay.  A really good program that could help you out is the Hill-Burton Act.  I spent many years working on an Oncology Unit (Cancer unit) in our local hospital and know that one of the signs of breast cancer is nipple discharge.  I don't want to scare you , only inform you.  Finding out now is best because there are treatments available that can stop the growth if it is cancer, and better to catch it early.  I will keep you in my prayers.

If you feel a lump but that is not always the case. You should get a mamogram if you are in concerns

Have you got any good reasons not to get proper medical care? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

It means that they really didn't get a good picture and need to redo it.\n\nDon't panic.  If there was something really wrong, your doctor should have mentioned it.

I work in a hospital and deal with ladies  with breast cancer on a daily basis. I get my fiance to check mine as well as checking them myself. I check his aswel. U can never be too careful.\nEspecially the younger lads from 16 up. Always check your breasts and testicles. You need to get to know what they feel like normally then u will know if theres anything abnormal.\nI think a goo boob size is 34 C/D.

People are strange beings.  Any woman who will spend hours on her hair or nails or face amkeup should at least take a few moments to have a self examination of her breasts.\nIf married women won't do it perhaps their husbands can.

It is not normal to have fluid leaking from your nipples if your not pregnant,you need to go see your ob/gyn to have it evaluated.

Your mother having breast cancer can predispose you to having it yes.  But, it is quiet easy to avoid having the problem of breast cancer.  I advise you to start in your early 20's having a yearly check up with your doctor.  Mammograms are very important at even a young age.  These will detect any abnormality quickly and keep you from developing any problems.\n\nYealy checkups!

First of all, your mother should have token you before your 18th birthday.  Your first visit, with Mom, should have been when you first started having crazy (irregular) periods), or just for a regular ob-gyn check-up to make sure that your periods, female organ, etc. are regular.  I would approach her by asking her when should a lady have her first visit?  And if she ask why, tell her that U are concern about your health and why she hasn't token you to your first visit like some of your girlfriend's moms; and with all the reports U hear about women's diseases, especially breast cancer (ob-gyn's will exam your breast not only for lumps but for other things like irregular breast shape/sizes (some women have one breast shaped different from the other).  Going to a gyn do not mean that U did, are or going to have sex.  It means that U are conscience about your health as a whole, like going to a dentist and a general doctor.  If U have your own insurance, just go.

When I was about 7 months pregnant I found a lump and tossed it up to a blocked milk duct. I mentioned it at my next visit, and the ball started rolling. I was diagnosed with breast cancer within 5 days. And unlike someone else said that tumors in the breast are small, my biggest of three tumors was 4cm, rather large.\n\nI guess what I am saying is that it doesn't hurt to get it checked out for your peace of mind. BTW, I was 29 years old with no family history of BC.\n\nI will be thinking good thoughts for you, good luck!
