About this test

A USG single breast is a focused, radiation-free ultrasound of one breast and its underarm (axillary) lymph nodes, used when symptoms affect only one side.

It helps distinguish cysts from solid lumps and detects fibroadenomas, breast abscesses, mastitis, duct changes, and features suggestive of breast cancer, reported using the BI-RADS system.

It is useful for follow-up of a known lump, evaluating one-sided pain or nipple discharge, monitoring after surgery, and guiding biopsy or abscess drainage. It is safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Questions about this test

When should I get the USG Single Breast test?

You should get a USG single breast if you have a lump, pain, swelling, redness, skin changes, or nipple discharge in one breast, or a lump in one armpit. It is also recommended for follow-up of a known breast lump or cyst, after breast surgery, for breast infection during breastfeeding, and for guided biopsy or drainage.

How should I prepare for the USG Single Breast test?

No fasting is required for a USG single breast. Wear a two-piece outfit for easy undressing, and avoid applying deodorant, powder, or lotion on the breast and underarm. If you menstruate, the best time is 7–10 days after your period starts. Bring previous scans, mammograms, or biopsy reports for comparison.

Do I require fasting for the USG Single Breast test?

No, fasting is not required for a USG single breast. You can eat and drink normally and take your regular medicines before the scan. Wear a two-piece outfit, and avoid deodorant, powder, or lotion on the breast and underarm being examined. The scan is painless and usually takes 15–20 minutes.
