Our high-resolution ultrasound technology and expert radiologists ensure early detection of abnormalities for timely treatment and peace of mind.
What Is a Scrotal Ultrasound?
A Scrotal Ultrasound, also known as a Testicular Ultrasound, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses sound waves to produce real-time images of the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding tissues.
It helps detect conditions such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, varicocele, hydrocele, spermatocele, tumors, and trauma-related injuries. It is completely safe and does not involve any radiation exposure.
Why It’s Performed / Common Indications
- Testicular or scrotal pain and swelling
- Detection of testicular torsion (emergency condition)
- Evaluation of infertility or low sperm count
- Assessment of scrotal lumps or masses
- Diagnosis of infections such as epididymitis or orchitis
- Detection of varicocele (dilated veins in the scrotum)
- Evaluation of hydrocele or spermatocele
- Assessment of trauma or injury to the testicles
- Monitoring after scrotal or testicular surgery
Preparation
- Usually, no special preparation is required.
- You may be asked to wear loose-fitting clothes or a gown.
- No fasting or bladder filling is needed.
- Inform the technologist about any pain, prior surgeries, or injury in the scrotal area.
Procedure
- You will lie comfortably on the examination bed.
- A warm, water-based gel will be applied to the scrotal area to ensure proper contact.
- The technologist moves a small handheld device (transducer) gently over the area to capture high-resolution images.
- The scan is painless, safe, and takes about 15–20 minutes.
- The captured images are immediately reviewed by an expert radiologist for accurate diagnosis.
What Happens Next (Interpretation)
- Testicular size, shape, and texture
- Presence of lumps, cysts, or tumors
- Evidence of infection, inflammation, or abscess
- Signs of testicular torsion or trauma
- Fluid buildup (hydrocele) or dilated veins (varicocele)
- Blood flow to and from the testicles (with color Doppler)
A detailed report is then shared with your doctor for further evaluation and treatment planning.
