Is B-ultrasound accurate for breast hyperplasia?

The occurrence of breast hyperplasia will make many women feel very irritated, and they don’t know what treatment method to choose, which eventually leads to the aggravation of some symptoms. The occurrence of breast hyperplasia should be based on the patient’s physical condition to choose an appropriate treatment plan. For example, patients with breast hyperplasia can undergo B-ultrasound examination, breast X-ray examination, and a series of other examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

1. B-ultrasound examination: It has become a commonly used examination method in clinical practice due to its advantages such as convenience, economy, non-invasiveness and painlessness. With the development of ultrasonic imaging and the application of high-frequency ultrasound, the resolution of ultrasound has been greatly improved, which can detect tiny lesions in the breast, especially the differentiation between cystic and solid tumors, which is difficult to be replaced by other imaging methods.

2. Mammary gland X-ray examination: Mammary gland X-ray examination is an important means to detect early cancer and microcancer, but it is not necessary to check repeatedly in a short period of time, especially during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, when the breasts are sensitive to X-rays. Excessive exposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Generally, you should have a mammography examination at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcification is unmatched by other imaging examinations.

3. Breast MRI examination: Breast MRI examination has high sensitivity and medium specificity. Because of its relatively high price, long inspection time, and relatively small and closed space, it is not yet popular. It has great advantages in the treatment of small breast cancers that are negative in breast X-ray and ultrasound examinations, postoperative follow-up, examination of breast prosthesis implants or breast augmentation injections, nipple discharge, and screening of high-risk groups.

Currently, breast X-ray + ultrasound examination is the golden combination for clinical examination of breast diseases. When both breast X-ray and ultrasound examination are negative, the possibility of malignancy is less than 3%.
