Male Breast Assessment and Ultrasound in Lucknow
Men can also develop breast symptoms. A new lump, enlargement, nipple change or discharge deserves a clinical assessment. You can arrange male breast assessment through Dr Pranjali Joshi’s practice in Lucknow.
Contact the practice
Describe the change you have noticed
Tell the clinician which side is affected, when the change began and whether there is pain, discharge or an underarm lump. Bring a list of medicines and supplements and any earlier investigations.
Understanding gynaecomastia
Gynaecomastia is enlargement of glandular breast tissue in men. When examination clearly identifies typical gynaecomastia, imaging may not be needed. An unexplained or suspicious finding needs a different assessment.
Ultrasound is not always the first test
The clinician considers your age and examination when selecting imaging. Mammography and ultrasound can both be used in men; the choice is based on the question, not simply on a request for a scan. Sampling may be discussed if further clarification is needed.
Arrange a visit in Lucknow
Contact Advanced Breast Care in Gomti Nagar and describe the symptom or referral. Confirm the appointment and what records to bring. You do not need to decide which imaging test is best before speaking to the team.
Common questions
Do men ever need a mammogram?
Yes, it can be useful for some symptoms. Your clinician will decide which imaging is appropriate.
Is every male breast lump gynaecomastia?
No. A new or changing lump should be assessed rather than assumed to be a particular condition.
