Scrotum Ultrasound

This type of scan examines the scrotal sac and the testes within it. A scrotal ultrasound is requested when there is a palpable lump, swelling, pain or trauma.

You will be asked to lie on an examination couch and we will put water-based gel on your scrotum. A hand-held transducer (camera) will be moved across your scrotum, while images of the testes and surrounding tissues are taken. Your privacy will be respected at all times and you are welcome to have a chaperone present. 

Preparation: No preparation needed.
