A member asked:
What is the treatment for hypoechoic ducts with insipissated secretions in the retroareolar regions of the breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast ducts: It is not uncommon for women to have mildly dilated ducts in the retroareolar regions of the breasts. On ultrasound, these normally appear hypo or anechoic. When the contents within the ducts become thickened, they can appear iso- or hyperechoic. Assuming there is/are no intraductal mass(es), there is no treatment - this is the normal appearance.
