Self checking my breasts feels really weird, is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do it anyway: I am very glad you are doing self-exam. Truth be told, if you do this faithfully once a month, your chances of dying of breast cancer are very low -- and that's a significant plus for you and those who love you. Everything tied up to sexuality is a little bit special and feels a little strange at first -- but keep doing what you're doing.
