Hello I have a ? about breast exam by OBGYNs. Do u all have it done every year?? I noticed my dr didnt last year and this year. I saw him yesterday for another appt and i asked him about it and the Dr told me I dont need to have it every year since Im 32 years old, no history of breast cancer run in my family. But I thought that was kind of odd. I thought that was a routine thing. The Dr I used to see did it every year and i was 24. I've been happy with this dr so far but i just though that was odd so now i dont know if i wanna stick with him. But then again i dont know if i want to look for a new Dr and start all over again.. What do u think?
Thanks for reading.
