Cytology, Nipple Discharge

Description

Nipple Discharge Cytology involves the microscopic examination of cells present in fluid discharged from the nipple. This test is primarily used to investigate abnormal nipple discharge and can help detect various breast conditions. It’s particularly useful in identifying potential malignancies, inflammatory conditions, or hormonal imbalances affecting the breast. The procedure involves collecting the discharge, preparing slides, and examining the cells under a microscope for any abnormalities or signs of disease.
