What is a Breast Center?

An integrated breast center in Bangalore dedicated to evaluating a lump in breast, painful lump, nipple changes, and other breast symptoms. Our all-women team provides same-day consultation, sonomammogram (ultrasound breast scan), biopsy, and evidence-based breast cyst treatment. We also offer minimally invasive management of benign lumps such as fibroadenoma via VABB, with a strong focus on early breast cancer detection, privacy, and continuity of care.

What are steps at our center?

Your visit typically follows a streamlined same-day workflow for quick diagnosis and care—starting with consultation, followed by a sonomammogram, and moving to biopsy and treatment if required—so you get clear answers and a plan without long waits.
1
Consultation with Dr. Gayathri Dr. Gayathri reviews your history and prior scans, examines the breast, and discusses concerns such as a painful lump in breast, suspected fibroadenoma, or breast cyst. She explains the plan and answers questions before any test.
2
Sonomammogram A radiation-free ultrasound breast scan (sonomammogram) evaluates a lump in breast, differentiates solid vs cystic lesions, and looks for signs suggestive of breast cancer. It also guides targeted procedures when needed.
3
Breast Biopsy If the scan shows suspicious features, an ultrasound-guided core biopsy is done under local anesthesia to sample tissue. This accurately distinguishes benign conditions like fibroadenoma from breast cancer with minimal discomfort.
4
Lump Removal using VABB Using a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) device, benign lumps such as fibroadenoma and symptomatic breast cysts can be removed through a tiny incision, with no visible scar, no hospitalization, and rapid recovery.
5
Lab Reports Pathology processes your sample using advanced methods. Detailed digital and physical reports are delivered within 4 days to enable timely treatment decisions.

What is a Sonomammogram?

A sonomammogram is an ultrasound breast scan used to assess a lump in breast or painful lump. It is often the first-line test (especially for women under 40 or with dense breasts) to detect early breast cancer, and to differentiate fibroadenoma from a breast cyst. The results guide next steps like biopsy or cyst aspiration. It is safe, comfortable, and radiation-free.

What is a Biopsy?

A breast biopsy is a minimally invasive test that removes a small tissue sample to confirm whether a lump is benign or cancerous. Performed under local anesthesia and ultrasound guidance—typically as a core needle biopsy (CNB)—it delivers a definitive pathology report for conditions like fibroadenoma, breast cyst–related changes, and suspected breast cancer, enabling precise treatment planning.

What is VABB for Lump Removal?

VABB (Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy) is an outpatient, ultrasound-guided, scar-sparing technique that can completely remove benign breast lumps such as fibroadenoma and selected breast cysts through a tiny 3–5 mm opening. It offers less pain, excellent cosmetic results, and same-day discharge with minimal downtime.

VABB vs Breast Lump Surgery

Compared with traditional surgery, VABB is performed under local anesthesia, leaves almost no scar, avoids hospital admission, and allows a faster return to normal activity. For suitable benign lumps like fibroadenoma, it offers lower complication risk, fewer follow-up visits, and is often a more cost-effective option in Bangalore.

Know more about Sonomammogram

Our breast center in Bangalore provides a comprehensive pathway for anyone noticing a lump in breast, a painful lump, nipple changes, or other breast symptoms. With an all-women team, we prioritize privacy, comfort, and early breast cancer detection. You receive same-day consultation, sonomammogram (ultrasound breast scan), and when indicated, biopsy or minimally invasive treatment such as VABB for benign lumps like fibroadenoma and selected breast cysts. This integrated model ensures continuity of care and faster answers. A sonomammogram is a radiation-free ultrasound breast scan that is often the first-line test, especially for women under 40 or with dense breasts. It evaluates a lump in breast, differentiates solid lesions like fibroadenoma from a breast cyst, and looks for features suggestive of breast cancer. Based on the results, we may recommend a core needle biopsy (CNB) or cyst aspiration to guide the right treatment quickly and safely. When imaging shows suspicious features, an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy is performed under local anesthesia to obtain a small tissue sample. This minimally invasive approach provides a definitive pathology diagnosis, distinguishing benign conditions such as fibroadenoma and breast cyst–related changes from breast cancer, enabling precise and timely treatment planning. For suitable benign lumps, VABB (Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy) offers an outpatient, scar-sparing alternative to surgery. Through a tiny 3–5 mm opening and under real-time ultrasound guidance, VABB can completely remove fibroadenoma and selected symptomatic breast cysts. It avoids hospital admission, minimizes pain, preserves cosmetic appearance, and allows same-day discharge with minimal downtime. Compared with traditional breast lump surgery, VABB is performed under local anesthesia, leaves almost no scar, and supports a faster return to normal activity. For appropriate cases, it can reduce complications and follow-up visits and is often a more cost-effective option in Bangalore—while keeping the focus on safety, outcomes, and patient experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Sonomammogram (breast ultrasound)? close
A sonomammogram is a radiation-free ultrasound breast scan. It helps evaluate a lump in breast, differentiate solid lesions like fibroadenoma from a breast cyst, look for features suggestive of breast cancer, and guide targeted procedures when needed.
Who should get a Sonomammogram? close
Anyone with a new lump in breast, a painful lump, nipple changes, or other breast symptoms. It is often the first-line test for women under 40 or with dense breasts, and is used along with mammography when indicated.
Is a Sonomammogram safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? close
Yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves (no radiation) and is safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
How is a Sonomammogram different from a mammogram? close
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays and is best for population screening and spotting microcalcifications. Ultrasound is radiation-free, better for dense breasts, and characterizes lumps (solid versus cystic). Your doctor may advise both for a complete assessment.
What can a Sonomammogram detect? close
It detects and characterizes breast lumps, identifies cysts, and looks for early concerning features. It also guides procedures like core needle biopsy or cyst aspiration when needed.
How should I prepare for the scan? close
No special preparation is required. Wear a two-piece outfit for convenience and, if possible, avoid creams or lotions on the breast/underarm area on the day of the scan.
How long does the scan take? close
The scan typically takes about 15–30 minutes, including positioning and image acquisition.
Will the scan be painful? close
The test is generally comfortable. You may feel mild pressure from the probe; there are no needles involved for the scan itself.
When is a biopsy needed after the scan? close
If the ultrasound shows suspicious features, an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy may be recommended to confirm whether a finding is benign or cancerous.
What is VABB for lump removal? close
VABB (Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy) can remove suitable benign lumps like fibroadenoma through a tiny 3–5 mm opening under ultrasound guidance. It is scar-sparing, done under local anesthesia, and usually allows same-day discharge.
How much does it cost at your center? close
Consultation ₹700 (offer), Sonomammogram ₹2,500 (offer), Breast Biopsy ₹7,000 (offer), and VABB lump removal from ₹30,000 (per lesion). Final pricing depends on clinical findings.
When will I get my reports? close
Digital and physical reports are typically delivered within 4 days. Your doctor will explain findings and next steps.
Do you provide same-day care? close
Yes. We offer a one-stop pathway—consultation, sonomammogram, and when indicated, biopsy on the same day. Suitable benign lumps may be removed with VABB with same-day discharge.
Are there any risks or limitations? close
Ultrasound is very safe. Some findings may still need a mammogram or biopsy for confirmation, and ultrasound is less sensitive for microcalcifications compared with mammography.
Does weight gain increase breast size? close
Yes. Breast size can increase with weight gain because breasts contain fatty tissue that expands as body fat increases. Glandular tissue does not change with weight. Any new or persistent lump should still be assessed by a breast specialist.
Why is left breast cancer more common? close
Some studies show a slightly higher occurrence in the left breast, but the difference is small and not clinically significant. Either breast can develop cancer, so screening and evaluation should always cover both sides.
how to cure breast lump naturally? close
There is no proven natural cure for a breast lump. Some cysts resolve on their own, but any new or changing lump should be examined. Avoid massages, pills, or home remedies that may delay diagnosis. Our team will guide you to safe, evidence-based care after an ultrasound.
What are symptoms of breast cyst? close
A breast cyst often feels smooth, soft-to-firm, and mobile, may be tender, and can fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. There may be clear or yellow nipple discharge or localized pain. Ultrasound confirms the diagnosis; aspiration is offered if painful or large.
Which doctor to consult for breast pain? close
Consult a dedicated breast specialist or surgical oncologist—this is not a gynecology problem. Gynecologists do not routinely evaluate breast disorders and may delay the right imaging or biopsy. For focused assessment and same‑day ultrasound/biopsy when indicated, visit our breast clinic and book an appointment.
Is breast cancer hereditary? close
Most breast cancers are not hereditary. About 5 to 10 percent are due to inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. If you have a strong family history, consider genetic counseling and tailored screening.
Is tumor curable? close
Many tumors are curable. Benign breast lumps like fibroadenoma or cysts are often observed or removed if needed. Many breast cancers are highly treatable and often curable when detected early. Treatment depends on the type and stage.
