Breast Ultrasound Scan in Malaysia 🩺💗

Abreast ultrasoundis a safe, non-invasive imaging test that usessound wavesto create pictures of the inside of your breast. It helps doctors detect and evaluate abnormalities such as lumps, cysts, or unusual tissue changes.

Unlike mammograms, a breast ultrasounddoes not use radiation, making it especially suitable foryounger women, pregnant women, or those with dense breast tissue.

Why Breast Ultrasound Matters

• Early detectionof breast cancer and benign conditions

• Safe for all ages– no radiation exposure

• More accurate for dense breasts, where mammograms may be less effective

• Guides further care– often used alongside mammograms or to guide biopsies

What to Expect During a Breast Ultrasound

1. Preparation– No special prep is needed. Just avoid lotions or powders on your chest before the test.

2. During the scan– You’ll lie on your back while a gel is applied to your breast. A handheld device (transducer) is moved across the area.

3. Comfortable & painless– Most women only feel mild pressure.

4. Duration– The scan usually takes15–30 minutes.

5. Results– A radiologist reviews the images and your doctor will explain the findings.

FAQs – Breast Ultrasound Scan

1. Is a breast ultrasound painful?
No, it’s a safe and painless procedure. You may only feel light pressure from the probe.

2. Do I need a mammogram if I do an ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound complements but does not replace mammograms. Doctors often recommend both for a more complete picture.

3. Can ultrasound detect cancer?
Yes, it can help detect abnormal growths, but it cannot always tell if a lump is cancerous. A biopsy may be needed for confirmation.

4. Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes—unlike X-rays or mammograms, ultrasound uses no radiation and is safe for pregnant women.

5. How often should I do a breast scan?
If you’re at average risk, doctors recommendannual breast screening from age 40(mammogram + ultrasound for dense breasts). If you’re high risk (family history, genetic factors), your doctor may suggest starting earlier.
