result of breast ultrasound with silicon injection

[peephaypeeps]

good day..i am 24 yrs old.i am gay.i had a silicon injection before(4 years ago)and i took a pills(contraceptives),hormones and last week around 1am i squeeze my nipples and there is a nipples discharge.that is the first time i encounter that.then i go to my surgeon to discussed it.my surgeon do some test for my breast,(manual test).and he feel something inside my breast he's not sure if it just a silicon oil or tumor and he advice me to make a ultrasound for my breast and i done it this morning.the result is.. HIGH RESOLUTION ULTRASOUND OF BOTH BREASTS WAS DONE USING 7.5 MHz TRANSDUCER.  BOTH BREASTS SHOW MULTIPLE HYPOECHOIC FOCI,SOME OF WHICH HAVE POSTERIOR SHADOWING PRECLUDING ADEQUATE ANATOMIC EVALUATION.  THE LARGEST AT THE RIGHT MEASURES 0.5 x 0.4 x 0.6 CM SEEN AT 1 o'CLOCK POSITION,  2CM FROM THE NIPPLE AND THE LARGEST AT THE LEFT MEASURES 1.1 x 0.7 x 1.1 CM SEEN AT            4 o'CLOCK  POSITION,2CM FROM THE NIPPLE.       IMPRESSION:  S/P BREAST IMPLANT,BILATERAL      CORRELATION WITH MRI STUDY IS SUGGESTED.  Sir and Madam i need an explanation regarding to this result.i am worrying.is there a possible that i am prone in a breast cancer..please i need quick reply.thank you so much in advance.

p.s. In the future, it would be helpful if you only add any additional posts to  this ONE thread, so that all of your information will be in one place, allowing us to provide better responses. Right now you have 2 or 3 going, which is hard for readers--and answers-- to keep  up with. :-(  

And please update us  when you get your MRI results!

Thanks,

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used that term. Radiologists use many technical terms to describe the images they see by Ultrasound, and most of them don't mean much to the lay person...

One thing they look at is the amount of "echo" they receive from a structure. (It can be anechoic, hypoechoic, or hyperechoic.) A normal solid tumor tends to be hypoehoic,  homogeneous, and have smooth borders, while a malignant solid tumor tends to be primarily hypoechoic but heterogeneous (meaning it can also have hyperechoic and anechoic areas), and have irregular borders.
  
You had several hypoechoic areas, but  some had shadowing (shadows) that kept the radiologist from being able to fully evaluate their anatomical structure (whether the borders were smooth or irregular, perhaps?) and therefore the MRI ( which can "see" better through dense tissue) was recommended in order to get a clearer picture.

Please don't ask me to explain any further, as that's  all I know! :-)

Best wishes,

thank you..what is the meaning of hypoechoic that my doctor found on me...

[bluebutterfly2222]

Yes, the numerical descriptions would be estimated measurements of the hypoechoic
areas that your doctor wants to evaluate further by MRI.

thanks for the message...can you explain to me the numerical result of my US,i am not familiar to that.what it does it means,that my doctor found something in my US and why they advice me to under go to a MRI?i am worrying why i need to go in MRI?thanks in advance.
