It is important to remember that in order to diagnose pathological changes in the mammary glands in a timely manner, examinations should be performed regularly - at least once a year, and after reaching the age of 50 - twice a year.

How to prepare for a breast ultrasound
There is no special preparation for breast ultrasound, but in order to increase the accuracy of the results, it is necessary to conduct the examination on a certain day of the menstrual cycle. It is advisable to choose the first half of the cycle (day 5-10). If a woman takes hormonal contraceptives or is in menopause, the time of ultrasound does not matter.
