Learning About Breast CancerI just got one yesterday. I personally don’t find them painful, and not even that uncomfortable. My breasts are very tender and I have no problem. Plus, they are fairly quick. You’re out and about fast. Making the annual visit no big deal.
Comment 3No. I find them to be more uncomfortable than painful. It also depends on the time of the month. Your breasts are usually more tender right before your period. Try and schedule it after your period and this should help. Of all medical tests, this is the one I dread the least. It's no biggie.

Doctors will usually start performing clinical breast exams when you go in for regular checkups at about age 20. They are checking for abnormalities in your breasts and it's really not that scary. If you have concerns about it, though, the doctor may teach you how to do a breast self-exam.

At the age of 16, you really don't need to worry too much, but it is very important that you pay attention to any changes in your breast and consult your doctor if you have concerns.

Family Member or Loved OneSwitch! I'm in the middle of all this and I know if I didn't have caring doctors (who were willing to let me whine from time to time) I'd never make it!!
Comment 1If you are not comfortable and not getting good vibes, definitely switch doctors. You need to feel comfortable and confident with your care givers and treatments. Good luck.
