Mastitis: You should ask this question of your ob/gyn doctor. There are close relationships between the genitals and the breasts and they are making sure there are no obvious pelvic abnormalities demonstrable by us (assuming that is what is being looked at). What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Breast Ultrasound: Breast abscess is a rare but significant complication of mastitis that may occur during breast-feeding - non lactating women can get it too. Ultrasound is the most useful initial imaging test when a breast abscess is suspected -distinguishing between simple mastitis and abscess.Breast cancer may coincide with or mimic symptoms of mastitis.Clinical context & differentiation is the key to diagnosis!
