Discovering a lump in your breast can be alarming, but a breast ultrasound offers a safe, radiation-free way to investigate without discomfort. Here’s why Lagos women are increasingly relying on this diagnostic tool for early detection of breast abnormalities.

Why Choose Breast Ultrasound?

1. No Radiation – Safe for All Ages

✔ Ideal for:

• Young women (<45 years)
• Pregnant/nursing mothers
• Frequent monitoring

2. Painless & Non-Invasive

✔ No needles or compression
✔ Just gentle gliding of a probe over the breast

3. Detects What Mammograms May Miss

✔ Better for dense breast tissue
✔ Clearly distinguishes cysts (fluid-filled) from solid masses

4. Quick & Convenient

✔ Takes 15-30 minutes
✔ Results often available same day

🩺 When Is It Recommended?

For Diagnostic Checks:

• Palpable lump (felt during self-exam or doctor’s visit)
• Pain/tenderness in one specific area
• Nipple discharge (especially bloody or clear fluid)
• Follow-up after abnormal mammogram

For Screening (Alongside Mammogram):

• Women with dense breasts
• Those at high risk for cancer (family history)
• When mammography isn’t suitable (e.g., pregnancy)
