Regular breast check-ups are one of the pillars of cancer prevention. At the Pozmedica Medical Center, you can undergo a breast ultrasound in comfortable conditions, without a referral, with quick access to results, and with an individual approach from a radiologist. Our facility in Poznań ensures precise diagnostics thanks to modern equipment and the experience of our specialists.

Ultrasound examination allows assessment of the structure of the breast tissue and adjacent areas, including the armpits. It enables early detection of concerning changes, such as lumps, cysts, or enlarged lymph nodes. This procedure is completely safe, painless, and can also be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding women.

How is a breast ultrasound performed?

The examination usually lasts between 10 and 15 minutes. Before starting, the doctor conducts a brief medical interview, asking about current symptoms, medications, family history of cancer, and possible use of hormonal contraception. Then, the patient lies on a couch, and the radiologist applies a special gel to the skin to facilitate the conduction of ultrasound waves.

Using the device’s probe, the structure of the breasts and armpits is imaged. If necessary, the doctor measures any detected changes and makes a preliminary assessment of their nature. After the examination, the patient receives a written report and, if needed, recommendations for further diagnostics or specialist consultation.

Indications for a breast ultrasound

Regular breast examinations are recommended at any age. Although mammography is the primary diagnostic tool for women over 40, breast ultrasound is a recommended preventive method for younger patients. Indications for the examination include:

• Palpable lumps, thickening, or cysts in the breast or armpit areas
• Breast or armpit pain
• Changes in the appearance of the skin or nipple
• Nipple discharge
• Monitoring previously diagnosed benign changes
• Preventive screening in cases of family history of cancer (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations)
• Breast diagnostics in women with implants
• Monitoring treatment and post-surgical conditions
• Ongoing hormone therapy

The examination does not require special preparation. The highest diagnostic value is achieved when performed between the 4th and 14th day of the menstrual cycle, when breast tissue is more clearly visible on ultrasound.

Why is it worth having a breast examination at Pozmedica?

Early detection of cancerous changes significantly increases treatment effectiveness. Breast ultrasound is an imaging test that allows visualization of changes that cannot be felt during self-examination. It is an excellent complement to mammography and MRI, especially for younger women, pregnant women, and those with dense breast tissue.

At Pozmedica in Poznań, we offer not only access to high-class diagnostics but also care founded on trust and experience. We invite patients for breast examinations both as a preventive measure and in situations requiring quick diagnostics.
