Breast puncture is carried out on an outpatient basis of our clinics-partners and doesn’t require any specific preparations. Before the punctuation process, the patient undergoes ultrasound, mammography, ductography, cystography, which allow to determine the location and size of a pathological focus. Next step of the diagnostics will become a puncture and seizure of some tissue for histological examination.
Puncture should not be made just before or during the menstruation, 7-14 days of the period are considered to be optimal. One week before the procedure blood thinning medicines (aspirin, warfarin), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be canceled. One day before the puncture it is better to avoid alcohol.
To minimize discomfort the area of a puncture is treated with local anesthetics, although in some cases the procedure is absolutely painless due to a very thin needle.
