Clinical Breast Exam – What Your Doctor Does (and Doesn’t)

In this episode, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor breaks down what a clinical breast exam entails—and how it compares to the self breast exam you do at home. Drawing from years of experience, she reveals why you may actually be better at detecting changes in your own breasts than your doctor. From timing and technique to familiarity and focus, this episode highlights why both types of breast exams matter—but also why your hands may be your most powerful diagnostic tool.
