Mammologist — what to know

A breast specialist (mammologist) deals with breast health. Women and men see one for a lump, pain or a change in the breast, for nipple discharge, and women for a check-up. The visit often includes a breast ultrasound and, when needed, a mammogram.

What happens at the visit

The breast specialist asks about your complaints and illnesses in the family and looks at and feels the breasts and armpits. The imaging shows whether follow-up or a needle sample is needed.

Before the visit

Bring an identity document, the results of earlier tests and any discharge summaries, and a list of the medicines you take.

Bring the images and reports from earlier mammograms and ultrasounds — comparing with them matters. Wear a two-piece outfit: the upper body is examined.

Visits paid by НЗОК (NHIF)

A specialist visit paid by НЗОК (NHIF) usually needs a referral from your GP; a referral is valid for 30 days. A paid visit is possible without one. Whether the doctor sees НЗОК patients, which health funds they work with and the price are on their profile.
