Breast check-up and benign breast changes in Baku

Mastopathy is a term widely used in CIS countries for benign changes in breast tissue, such as tenderness, nodularity or small cysts that vary with the cycle. Modern medicine often regards these changes as a variant of normal rather than a disease. Frequently no treatment is needed beyond observation, but the doctor first makes sure the findings are benign and then advises on easing pain if it bothers you.

Breast complaints are usually seen by a mammologist, a doctor who specialises in breast conditions, and in some clinics by a breast surgeon or a gynaecologist. After a doctor has reviewed your reports, we arrange a visit to the appropriate specialist. If a biopsy shows that treatment is needed, an oncologist joins the discussion.

The two tests complement each other rather than compete. Ultrasound is often used first for younger women, during pregnancy and breastfeeding and to look closely at a particular area, while mammography is usually part of checks at an older age. If you are looking for mammography in Baku, tell us your age and previous results, and the doctor decides which test or combination suits you.

An examination with ultrasound and, if needed, mammography usually fits into 1 to 2 days, so most women plan 2 to 3 days in Baku. If a biopsy is taken, the laboratory result usually takes several days or longer and can be discussed online or sent to your doctor at home. Women who still have periods are often advised to come in the first half of the cycle. The doctor confirms the plan after reviewing your documents.

The cost depends on the consultation, whether ultrasound, mammography or both are needed, any further tests such as a biopsy, and the length of your stay. After reviewing your reports we send a written estimate listing everything included, and if the doctor recommends an extra test during the visit, we explain the change before anything is done.
