On which day of the cycle is the best breast ultrasound examination?

Breast ultrasound examination can be performed on any day of the cycle - at the Dworska Hospital in Krakow, we have equipment that enables precise assessment of changes, regardless of the day of the cycle.

How often should breast ultrasound be performed?

Women over 30 should have an obligatory breast ultrasound examination once a year. Every woman over 20 years of age should control the condition of her breasts by inspection and palpation. Any suspicious change (breast enlargement, thickening on the skin, nipple retraction, change in skin color or a palpable lump in the breast) is an indication for an immediate ultrasound examination of the breast.

Who performs breast ultrasound?

Ultrasound is performed by a radiologist or gynecologist trained in breast ultrasound diagnostics.

Mammography or breast ultrasound - which examinations should be performed?

Every woman can come to a breast ultrasound without the need for a referral. Ultrasound is an easily accessible, fast and completely safe method of imaging. Breast ultrasound can be repeated without restrictions, therefore it is the most frequently performed examination at the beginning of the diagnosis of suspicious changes. During the ultrasound examination, the doctor may order a mammogram if he deems it necessary. Mammography is more often ordered in women over 50 because it is better suited for imaging breasts with less glandular tissue.
