Breast ultrasound scans are the most common way of both routine breast screening and checking of any lumps or lesions of concern in women of breastfeeding age.

We all know how important it is to regular self-examine our breasts. It is advised to do this regularly so that we become “breast aware”. This means knowing what is normal for us, knowing what changes to look for and investigating any changes without delay.

Ultrasound is an important investigative tool if you find a lump or notice any changes. It is also very helpful as a routine screening for those of us with a family history of breast cancer or other cancers. We offer breast ultrasounds both as a preventative scan and investigative tool.

An ultrasound is a painless and simple procedure that involves the use of an ultrasound probe that sends sound waves into the breast. The sound waves bounce back as “echoes”, creating an image on a screen. In some cases, you may need a further biopsy.

What do I need to look out for?

Remember to look out for the following signs:

  • A lump in your armpit or breast that you feel when you self-examine or can visibly see under the skin
  • Changes in the shape, size or outline of your breast
  • Dimpling that makes the skin on your breasts look different
  • A nipple drawing inwards or looking different than usual
  • Moist redness on or around your nipple
  • A rash on your breast
  • Pain or discomfort in your breast that does not go away

 

Questions about our Breast Scans

Why might I need a breast ultrasound?

You may need one if you notice a lump or change in your breasts, have abnormal findings on a mammogram, have dense breast tissue, or need follow‑up imaging for further investigation.

Is a breast scan painful, or unsafe?

A breast ultrasound is painless, non‑invasive, and does not use radiation. Therefore, it is considered very safe for people of all ages, including during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

How should I prepare for the scan?

In most cases, no special preparation is needed. You may be asked to remove some clothing from the waist up and wear a gown. However, we will provide specific instructions to help ensure an accurate scan and results.

Can the scan help detect cancer?

A breast ultrasound can help distinguish between solid and fluid‑filled lumps and may spot abnormalities, but it is not always used alone for breast cancer screening. Sometimes, mammograms may be recommended in many situations.

Can breast ultrasound detect cysts?

A breast scan can help distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid lumps, helping your doctor decide if further investigation or treatment is needed.
