Breast Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive and informative diagnostic method that allows a detailed assessment of the tissue and structure of the breasts.
Ultrasound examination makes it possible to assess the condition of the breasts and to detect nodular formations, cysts and other structural changes. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor can determine whether the patient’s condition requires further examination or a specialist consultation.
Breast ultrasound is particularly important when the patient experiences discomfort, pain or another change in the breast area. The examination is also used to assess already detected changes over time and in accordance with a doctor’s recommendation.

in case of a change in the shape or size of the breast;
in case of unusual discharge from the nipple;
