Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between mastalgia, which is an important healthproblem in women, and breast duct diameter using ultrasonography (US).Methods: The study was planned prospectively. A total of 40 postmenopausal patients who were referred to our clinicdue to unilateral breast pain were included in the study. Before the US examination, the patients were asked to scorepain levels from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain) according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).Results: The mean age of the patients was 56 (range 40-77) years. The mean diameter of the duct was 1.77±0.59 mmfor the side with pain and 1.08±0.36 mm for the other side. There was a statistically significant difference between thetwo groups (p
