    Does anyone know where you can go for a breast exam besides a doctors? I'm a little worried about mine because they've got quite big over the past couple of years (up to an E now) and i just want to make sure everything is ok. I'm saying besides a doctor because isnt it like 50 euro to see a doctor now? There must be a more reasonable price?!

    You're only 21. Have you gained weight recently? Are you on the pill? Sometimes, breast growth is a little delayed, and it could be that they're just reaching their natural size now.

    You can do breast checks yourself too.

    Oo

    They're serious questions. Free screening is provided for high risk categories and there's free medical care for... oh, why bother.

    Before someone else jumps in here and says to pay the 50€ for the quacks, dont bother, They are not breast specialists. The links provided above will give free checks by a trained professional.

    And before people start jumping in saying the Op is tight and wont pay 50€, We dont know the situation she is in.

    Also, this is not a medical forum, neither is PI o any part of this website.

    Thread should be closed.

    Good advice all round.

    As Anti so nicely put it, this isn't a medical forum.

    Thread Close.
