Ultrasound of the scrotum
Scrotal ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess the health of the male reproductive system. It provides a detailed visualization of the internal structures, including the testes, epididymis, and the scrotal portion of the spermatic cord.
Using high-frequency ultrasound waves that penetrate up to 8–10 cm into the tissues, this method is completely safe — unlike X-ray imaging — and allows clinicians to assess:
- Organ size
- Structural uniformity
- Wall thickness
- Venous plexuses
- Presence of masses or abnormalities
To determine the nature of any tumors or abnormalities, additional testing such as laboratory analysis may be required.
When Is Scrotal Ultrasound Recommended?
Scrotal ultrasound can be performed as part of a routine urological exam or to investigate specific concerns, including:
- Visible changes in the genital area (swelling, redness, asymmetry)
- Infertility or poor sperm analysis results
- Genital trauma
- Suspected inguinal hernia
- Endocrine disorders affecting reproductive health
- Pain or discomfort during sexual activity
- Postoperative monitoring of the scrotum
- Impotence or sexual dysfunction
Ultrasound can detect a wide range of conditions such as:
- Varicocele
- Testicular tumors
- Orchitis and epididymal abscesses
- Hydrocele
- Infertility-related pathologies
How to Prepare for the Procedure
No special preparation is required for scrotal ultrasound. Patients can visit the clinic on any convenient day. However, maintaining good personal hygiene is essential before the exam.
How Is the Ultrasound Performed?
- The patient lies on their back or side.
- A clear ultrasound gel is applied to the scrotal area to ensure optimal signal transmission.
- The technician or doctor moves the ultrasound probe across the area, examining the testes, epididymis, venous plexus, and any fluid accumulation.
- The entire exam is painless and non-invasive, typically lasting only a few minutes.
- After the procedure, the gel is wiped off, and the patient can resume normal activities immediately.
