The reason behind it has to do with one's abiltiy to turn the wheel of the car while driving. Apparently they feel breast cancer can hinder this. Why? I don't know but that is how it is. Also my daughter doesn't have a "male" doctor. The ped is a woman. I didn't leave her alone in a room to do that type of exam with a man.
