FAQs
Why should I have this scan?
This scan can help spot breast or armpit problems early. It’s useful if you’ve noticed a lump, pain, or other changes. It’s also a good way to keep track of known issues or get reassurance if you’re worried.
What symptoms are linked to breast and armpit problems?
Common symptoms include:
● A new breast or armpit lump / swelling
● Pain in the breast or underarm
● Nipple discharge
● Skin dimpling or changes
● Swollen lymph nodes
When should I see a doctor?
See a doctor if you notice a lump, pain, skin changes, or any other new or lasting breast symptoms. Even if they seem minor, it’s best to check.
Do I need to prepare for the scan?
No special preparation is needed. Wear a top that’s easy to remove. Avoid applying creams or powders on the chest before your appointment.
What happens during the scan?
You’ll lie back, and a clear gel will be applied to your breast and underarm. The doctor will move a small probe over the area. It’s painless and takes about 10–15 minutes.
Are there any risks of a breast and armpit ultrasound?
Ultrasound is very safe. It uses sound waves, not radiation. There are no known risks or side effects.
