Gynaecological ultrasound examination combined with a breast ultrasound

During an annual preventive check-up for women, combining a transvaginal ultrasound with a breast ultrasound is essential, as it provides a comprehensive, early overview of the condition of the uterus, ovaries, and mammary glands.

Main reasons for performing these examinations together:

Early detection of abnormalities – ultrasound can detect changes in the uterus, ovaries, and breasts even before symptoms appear (e.g., cysts, fibroids, polyps, tumour-like formations);
Indirect assessment of hormonal balance – the condition of the ovaries and the uterine lining (endometrium) can provide insight into hormonal changes that also affect the breasts;
Early detection of cancer – early detection of ovarian, uterine, and breast cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes and prognosis;
Suitable for different age groups – ultrasound is safe, painless, and suitable for both younger and older women, even before the recommended age for mammography;
Treatment planning and follow-up – in cases of previous findings or treatments (e.g., hormonal therapy), the combined examination helps monitor the dynamics of changes;
Reassurance – regular check-ups provide women with peace of mind about their health.

This combined preventive examination is especially recommended for women:

From the onset of puberty;
When planning a pregnancy or in the postpartum period;
In cases of hormonal disorders;
With a family history of cancer;
In premenopause and menopause.

In summary, this comprehensive and non-invasive combination of examinations helps prevent serious diseases and supports a woman’s long-term health and well-being.
