Scrotal/Testicular Ultrasound 

​

What is a Scrotal/Testicular Ultrasound?A scrotal or testicular ultrasound is a safe, painless test that uses sound waves (not radiation) to evaluate the anatomy of the testicles, epididymis, and vascularity. Inguinal hernias can also be evaluated upon request by your physician.

​

How does it work?
You’ll lie on your back while a warm gel is applied to the scrotum. A small handheld device called a transducer is gently moved over the area to capture detailed images on a screen. The exam is quick, non-invasive, and does not involve any needles or radiation.

​

Why is it important?
This ultrasound helps providers check for causes of pain, swelling, or lumps. It can detect conditions like testicular torsion, infection, fluid buildup, or tumors. It’s a simple, reliable way to get important answers about your health and guide the right care.
