FNAC Price in Bangladesh

What is FNAC?

FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that involves using a thin needle to extract cells or fluid from a lump or lesion. The collected sample is examined under a microscope to detect infections, inflammation, or malignancies.

FNAC is commonly used for evaluating masses in the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, or other tissues. It provides a quick and reliable diagnosis, guiding further management and treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

This is an interventional procedure carried out by a specialist doctor, not a walk-in laboratory test. The doctor performing it will explain the steps, the sedation or anaesthesia used, and the recovery time before you give written consent.

• Referral: bring the referral or advice from the doctor who requested this procedure, along with earlier reports and imaging.
• Fasting and medication: fasting time and instructions about blood thinners, diabetes medicines or other drugs come from the performing doctor and are specific to this procedure — follow those instructions, not general lab advice.
• Consent: you will be asked for written informed consent, and you can ask about risks and alternatives before signing.
• Companion: if sedation is planned, arrange for someone to travel home with you.

Interventional procedures carry procedure-specific risks. Discuss your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status and current medicines with the performing doctor beforehand.

Performed by a specialist team; a doctor's referral is normally required.
