Breast Ultrasound in Krakow - Examination Description

Breast ultrasound is one of the fundamental diagnostic tests. It allows for the assessment of the breast gland structure and the detection of any abnormalities, such as cysts, lumps, or other irregularities.

The examination uses ultrasound waves, which are completely safe and non-invasive, making it suitable even for pregnant women. Thanks to the high sensitivity of the ultrasound device, it is possible to obtain a detailed image of breast tissues, allowing for the assessment of detected changes – whether they are solid, fluid-filled, or mixed.

When Should You Have a Breast Ultrasound?

It is recommended to undergo the examination preventively once a year, as well as in case of concerning symptoms such as breast pain, shape changes, asymmetry, or nipple discharge. Early detection of changes enables the prompt implementation of appropriate treatment.

Preparation for Breast Ultrasound in Krakow

The breast ultrasound examination does not require any special preparation. However, it is best performed between the 1st and 10th day of the menstrual cycle when breast tissue is less swollen. It is also advisable to bring previous test results if they were conducted.

Examination Process

The breast ultrasound is performed by a radiologist or gynecologist. During the examination, the patient lies on her back with her arms placed under her head. The doctor applies a special gel to the skin to facilitate ultrasound wave transmission and then moves the ultrasound probe over the breasts and nearby lymph nodes. The examination takes approximately 15–20 minutes and is completely painless.

Breast Ultrasound Krakow – Results

The breast ultrasound results are available immediately after the examination. The patient receives a detailed report prepared by a specialist along with printed ultrasound images. If any abnormalities are detected, the doctor assesses their size, structure, and nature – whether they are cysts, benign lumps, or changes requiring further diagnosis.

If the examination results indicate the need for additional tests, the doctor may recommend further diagnostics, such as a fine-needle biopsy or mammography.
