Breast Ultrasound

At Lahore Oncoplastic Breast Services, under the expert guidance of Dr. Hammad Raza Sheikh, we offer advanced breast ultrasound services. This imaging technique is crucial for detailed breast health assessment and complements our comprehensive breast care approach.

 

What is a Breast Ultrasound?

A breast ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create detailed pictures of breast tissue. At our clinic, we employ state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to provide clear, high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis.

 

Why Choose Breast Ultrasound?

Breast ultrasound is an essential tool in our diagnostic arsenal. It allows Dr. Sheikh and our team to:

  • Distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses
  • Examine specific areas of concern identified in mammograms
  • Evaluate breast lumps or pain
  • Screen dense breast tissue
  • Assess breast health in younger patients.=

 

When is Breast Ultrasound Recommended?

Dr. Hammad Raza may recommend a breast ultrasound if:

  • You have an abnormal or unclear mammogram result
  • A breast lump is detected during a clinical exam
  • You experience localized breast pain
  • You have dense breast tissue that requires additional screening
  • You’re below the recommended age for routine mammograms

 

Our Breast Ultrasound Procedure:

Our experienced technicians ensure your comfort throughout the procedure:

  1. You’ll be asked to undress from the waist up and wear a gown
  2. You’ll lie on an examination table with your arm positioned above your head
  3. A water-based gel will be applied to your breast
  4. The technician will move a handheld device (transducer) over your breast to capture images
  5. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes

 

Preparing for Your Breast Ultrasound:

  • Avoid using lotions, powders, or deodorants on your breast area on the day of the exam
  • Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing
  • Bring any previous breast imaging reports if available

 

After Your Breast Ultrasound:

Dr. Dr Hammad Raza Sheikh or a qualified radiologist will interpret the results promptly. We aim to provide you with findings by the end of your appointment. If necessary, we’ll schedule any follow-up procedures immediately.

Safety and Limitations:

Breast ultrasound is safe, painless, and doesn’t use radiation. However, it’s typically used to examine specific areas rather than for whole-breast screening. Dr. Sheikh may recommend combining ultrasound with mammography for comprehensive breast cancer screening, especially for high-risk patients.

While ultrasound is quite good at differentiating cysts from solid masses, a biopsy is usually needed for a definitive diagnosis of whether a solid mass is benign or malignant.

A screening ultrasound is done routinely, often for women with dense breasts. A diagnostic ultrasound is performed to investigate a specific concern or symptom.

You may keep your hijab on during the procedure. Our female technicians will ensure your privacy and comfort throughout the exam.

Avoid using lotions, powders, or deodorants on your breast area on the day of the exam. Wear comfortable, easy-to-remove clothing.

While ultrasound is a valuable tool, it doesn’t typically replace mammograms. In many cases, Dr. Sheikh may recommend both for comprehensive screening.

The frequency depends on your individual risk factors and breast health history. Dr. Hammad Raza Sheikh will recommend a personalized screening schedule for you.
