Hi,

Before I got pregnant, my male doctor did a breast exam as a lump keeps popping up under my arm and then disappearing (lymph node by the looks). My doctor wanted to do a breast exam because of it which was fine but whenever i've had an exam before, nobody's checked the nipples. But he did. And I was just wondering if that was normal. He rubbed them between his thumb and finger and said that it was to check if they were lumpy.

I've had other exams before and nobody has ever done it like that before.. anyone else?
