Details about Breast Ultrasound (Bilateral)
What is a Breast Ultrasound Scan (Bilateral)?
A Breast Ultrasound Scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of breast tissue. It does not use ionising radiation and is considered very safe.
A bilateral breast ultrasound examines both breasts in the same appointment, allowing direct comparison of breast tissue on each side. This is particularly useful when symptoms are present in both breasts, changes are unclear, or a comprehensive assessment is required.
The scan evaluates breast tissue, ducts and surrounding structures to identify cysts, solid masses, inflammation, fluid collections or other abnormalities.
Why do I need a Bilateral Breast Ultrasound Scan?
A bilateral breast ultrasound scan is recommended when symptoms, concerns or findings affect both breasts, or when a full assessment is required for reassurance. It helps determine whether changes are benign, symmetrical or require further investigation.
You may need a bilateral breast ultrasound scan if you notice:
- Lumps in one or both breasts
- Breast pain affecting both sides
- Generalised breast swelling or tenderness
- Changes in breast texture
- Multiple areas of concern
- Dense breast tissue
- Follow-up of previous breast findings
- Further assessment after mammography
- Hormonal breast changes
- Reassurance when symptoms are non-specific
Scanning both breasts improves diagnostic accuracy and confidence.

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
