Ultrasound of the mammary glands
Breast ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to assess the condition of breast tissues. It can detect various abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, fibrous changes, or inflammations. This examination is safe, painless, and does not require any prior preparation.
Indications for breast ultrasound:
• Presence of lumps or pain in the breast area.
• Abnormalities detected during self-examination or a doctor's examination.
• Suspicion of cystic formations or tumors.
• Checking the condition of the breasts in women with dense breast tissue, which makes mammography diagnosis difficult.
• Monitoring existing conditions such as fibroadenomas or mastopathy.
Purpose of the procedure:
Breast ultrasound helps accurately diagnose the nature of changes in breast tissues: it can be a benign formation or possible signs of cancer. The examination also allows the doctor to assess the tissue structure, the size of nodules or cysts, and decide on the need for additional tests or interventions. It is an important tool for early diagnosis and prevention of breast diseases.
Duration of the procedure: typically, a breast ultrasound takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure is completely safe, causes no pain or discomfort, and is suitable for regular screening, especially for women with dense breast tissue or those with a hereditary predisposition to breast diseases.
