Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Breast ultrasound is prescribed for the early detection of abnormalities: it shows the condition of the tissue and lymph nodes and helps detect cysts, new growths, inflammation or changes related to hormonal fluctuations. The examination is recommended for both women and men who have pain, lumps or discharge from the breast.
The main advantages of the method are that it is non-invasive and accurate: high-resolution machines show even small changes in tissue structure. The examination needs no special preparation, involves no ionising radiation and is suitable for regular preventive monitoring.
During the procedure the doctor applies a special gel to the skin and moves an ultrasound probe over it, obtaining a real-time image on the screen. This makes it possible to assess tissue density and the presence, size and structure of any lesions. If needed, an additional examination may be prescribed: a mammogram or a consultation with a breast specialist.
Changes detected at an early stage respond best to treatment, which is why this examination is widely used for the early detection of breast changes in women of any age.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

The methods of breast ultrasound are chosen individually, taking into account your age, hormonal status, complaints and tissue characteristics. Modern high-resolution machines show fine changes in structure, allow the doctor to assess the glands, lymph nodes and blood vessels, and help detect small lesions at an early stage.
The most common type is standard two-dimensional ultrasound, which assesses the symmetry, density and condition of the milk ducts. For women with dense glandular tissue or when an abnormality is suspected, Doppler ultrasound is used: it analyses blood flow in the tissue and helps distinguish benign lesions from malignant ones.
Another method is elastography, which assesses the elasticity and stiffness of the tissue and helps characterise nodules without an invasive procedure. In some cases the doctor may perform an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to collect cells for cytological examination.
The doctor decides which type of examination you need, based on your age, tissue density and the results of previous examinations.
This is not only a diagnostic test but a full step in preventive care for women's health. The procedure causes no pain or discomfort, and straight after the examination you can return to your usual routine. The doctor explains the results, shows the areas that need attention and, if needed, prescribes additional tests or a consultation with a breast specialist.
After the ultrasound there is no special regime or restriction: you can stay active, exercise, shower or go swimming. However, if the doctor has found a lesion or inflammatory changes, they may recommend temporarily avoiding overheating, breast massage or hormonal medicines without a specialist's supervision.
The results are most often given straight after the examination and, if needed, together with a breast specialist's report. For women over 40 or with a family history of breast cancer, doctors advise repeating the ultrasound every six months to a year.
If pain, discharge or a lump appears, do not wait for a routine check-up: see a doctor straight away.
Ultrasound is not only a way to assess the condition of the tissue but also an important part of overall monitoring of women's health. Regular ultrasound helps detect in time any changes related to hormonal balance, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or breastfeeding. For women planning to have a baby, the examination is especially important, as it can reveal hormone-dependent processes that may affect fertility.
The best time for the examination is chosen individually. The doctor takes into account the phase of the cycle, your age, hormonal balance and any complaints. If you are preparing for pregnancy or having fertility treatment, the specialist may also order tests of oestrogen and prolactin levels to assess the functional state of the breasts.
During pregnancy or breastfeeding, ultrasound is the main diagnostic method because it involves no ionising radiation. It helps monitor the structure of the tissue and the condition of the milk ducts and detect inflammation or milk stasis in time. The procedure involves no radiation exposure and does not harm either mother or baby.
When planning a breast examination, consider not only the price of the procedure itself but also the related costs: a consultation with a breast specialist, diagnostics, additional tests or follow-up visits. In most cases ultrasound in Ukraine is the more economical option, because the examination, the consultation and the interpretation of results take place at one centre, with no need for extra visits or referrals.
Why is the cost lower? First, the cost of medical services (premises, equipment maintenance, staff salaries) in Ukraine is significantly lower than in EU countries. Second, strong competition between private clinics encourages transparent price packages with no hidden payments. Third, thanks to efficient scanning protocols the examination takes only 10–20 minutes, which keeps costs down for both the clinic and the patient.
The lower price does not mean lower standards: private clinics follow international standards of ultrasound diagnostics, use high-precision equipment and observe rules on hygiene and data storage. Experienced breast specialists and ultrasound specialists perform the procedure routinely, ensuring accuracy and comfort for every patient.
Yes. Breast ultrasound is considered safe: it involves no ionising radiation, so it can be done for women of any age and during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Private clinics in Ukraine work to European diagnostic standards, use high-precision equipment and make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
The examination is carried out by experienced breast specialists and ultrasound specialists, which improves the accuracy of the results and the chances of detecting abnormalities at an early stage. Modern ultrasound machines allow the doctor to assess the structure of the tissue and the condition of the milk ducts and to detect small changes.
To choose a reliable clinic, look at the doctors' qualifications, the level of equipment, the accuracy of the reports and the transparency of pricing. A trusted medical centre gives you high-quality, safe and reliable diagnostics, which is the foundation of preventive care for women's health.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
It is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic method for assessing the condition of the breast tissue, milk ducts, blood vessels and lymph nodes. With ultrasound the doctor sees the structure of the glands and can detect new growths, cysts, fibroadenomas or inflammation, even at an early stage.
At MediUkraine's partner clinic in Uzhhorod the examination costs from USD 23, with an assessment of the lymph nodes from USD 23, and comprehensive diagnostics with a breast specialist's consultation from USD 43. Confirm the final cost with the clinic: it depends on the scope of the examination.
Women under 40 are advised to have the examination once a year, and after 40 in combination with mammography. The best time for the examination is days 5–10 of the menstrual cycle, when hormone levels are stable and the tissue is less sensitive. Ultrasound is also done for pain, lumps or nipple discharge.
No special preparation is needed. It is enough to choose the right day of the cycle and avoid applying creams or deodorants to the breast area on the day of the examination. If you have previous ultrasound or mammography results, bring them for comparison.
Yes, it can and is even recommended. Ultrasound involves no ionising radiation and is considered safe for the mother and baby. During breastfeeding the examination helps assess the condition of the milk ducts and detect milk stasis early, before it progresses to mastitis.
The main indications are tenderness, swelling or lumps in the breast, asymmetry, nipple discharge, enlarged lymph nodes, preparation for pregnancy or monitoring after surgery. Ultrasound is also used for regular screening in women at increased risk of cancer.
Yes, modern ultrasound equipment can detect lesions just a few millimetres in size, long before symptoms appear. Ultrasound helps distinguish benign lesions from suspicious ones that need further examination or a biopsy. For women under 40 with dense breast tissue, ultrasound is often more informative than mammography, so it is prescribed first.
