Some do, and some don't. Many look at the breast to look for changes in the appearance of the breast such as changes in the skin, nipple or appearance of dimples. While I'm doing a breast exam I often look away or close my eyes in order to concentrate on what I'm feeling.

I experience this physical exam and i feel awkward. Doctors examine my mouth, my ear, my breast and even my anus.

When you exam your breasts by yourself.... XD
No, breast cancer is not infectous, but if a family member who's a blood relative has it, your chances of getting it are increased because some genetic factors play a role. Doing a breast self exam every month after your period ensures that if you start growing a tumor, you'll catch it early. To learn how to properly do a breast exam look for medical videos online.
its nothing really. everybody gets them. and yes they will go away..
Just as an FYI, I personally know someone who died from breast cancer at age 25 with no familial history of it. It is never too soon to check. She can begin by giving herself a monthly breast exam and having a yearly breast exam with her doctor at the same time as her annual pelvic exam. If this doctor won't do it, it's time to find another doctor.
Besides doing a regular self-exam, it is important that you keep your weight in check. Being obese increases the risk for breast cancer. It is also a good idea to limit your alcohol intake.

The testing method used to perform a breast exam is a mammogram.
A mammogram is an x-ray examination of the breast. It is used as a screening tool for breast tumors.
