When is the best time to have a breast ultrasound?
For routine screening, women with regular menstrual cycles are often advised to have the examination during the first phase of the cycle, approximately days 5–12 from the start of menstruation. After menopause, the examination can be performed on any day. If you have symptoms, there is no need to wait for a particular phase of the cycle.
Which examination is better: mammography or breast ultrasound?
These methods complement each other and have different capabilities. The choice depends on age, breast tissue composition, symptoms, family history, and the purpose of the examination. A doctor should determine the most appropriate method or whether both examinations are needed.
What can a breast ultrasound show?
Ultrasound helps assess breast tissue structure and detect cysts, lumps, dilated ducts, inflammatory changes, and other abnormalities. It can also help distinguish fluid-filled lesions from solid ones, but further diagnostic tests may be needed to determine their nature.
Can a breast ultrasound be performed during pregnancy?
Yes. Breast ultrasound can be performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding when medically indicated. The method does not use ionizing radiation. Inform your doctor about pregnancy or breastfeeding before the procedure.
Is any preparation needed for a breast ultrasound?
No special preparation is required. On the day of the examination, it is advisable not to apply creams, oils, or other cosmetic products to the breasts or underarm areas. Bring previous reports and images for comparison.
Can a breast ultrasound accurately diagnose breast cancer?
Ultrasound can detect masses and signs that require further investigation, but it does not always provide a definitive diagnosis on its own. Depending on the findings, the doctor may recommend mammography, MRI, a consultation with a breast specialist, or a biopsy.
On which day of the menstrual cycle should I have a breast ultrasound?
Routine breast ultrasound is usually recommended during the first phase of the menstrual cycle, approximately days 5–12 from the start of menstruation. After menopause, the examination can be performed on any day. If you experience pain, a lump, nipple discharge, or other symptoms, you should not wait for a specific day of your cycle.
