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

FNAC is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your FNAC result rather than self-diagnosing.
