Breast Lump & Armpit Ultrasound

This targeted ultrasound examines both breast tissue and the armpit (axilla) to detect and diagnose the cause of any lump, pain, or swelling.

Our high-resolution imaging technology provides real-time insight, helping to distinguish between benign (non-cancerous) and suspicious findings with precision and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

A breast lump ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of your breast and armpit tissue. It’s a safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free method for investigating lumps, pain, or changes in breast texture or shape.

You may need a scan if you notice:

  • A lump or swelling in the breast or underarm
  • Pain or tenderness in the breast area
  • Changes in breast size, shape, or skin texture
  • Nipple discharge, indentation, or inversion
  • Persistent breast discomfort
  • Post-surgery or post-implant changes

Ultrasound helps identify whether a lump is solid, fluid-filled, or requires further investigation.

No. Most breast lumps are benign, such as cysts or fibroadenomas. However, all new lumps should be checked promptly to rule out anything serious.

Ultrasound helps your doctor confirm the cause and, if necessary, refer you for further testing or biopsy.

  • Mammograms use X-rays to detect abnormalities (usually for women over 40).
  • Ultrasound uses sound waves and is ideal for younger women, those with dense breast tissue, or women with implants.

It’s also the preferred test for examining a specific lump or area of concern.

Minimal preparation is required.

  • Avoid applying lotions, powders, or deodorants on your chest before your appointment.
  • Wear a two-piece outfit for comfort.
  • Remove jewellery or necklaces for unobstructed access to the area.

You’ll lie comfortably while the specialist applies a small amount of gel to your breast and armpit.
A handheld ultrasound probe is gently moved over the area to capture detailed images.
The process takes 20–30 minutes and is completely pain-free.

Your doctor will explain your results immediately during your scan.

You’ll also receive a full written report and images later that day — all delivered securely to your email.

Yes. Ultrasound uses harmless sound waves (no radiation) and is completely safe, even for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Yes. Ultrasound is ideal for patients with implants as it visualises both breast tissue and the implant surface without risk of damage or compression.

If your scan reveals a cyst, fibroadenoma, or suspicious lump, your specialist will discuss next steps immediately.

This may include further imaging, biopsy, or referral to a breast surgeon or oncology specialist.
