How will a Testes/Scrotum scan help me?

A testes/scrotum ultrasound is a quick, painless, and non-invasive scan that provides a clear view of the testicles and surrounding tissue. It helps detect lumps, swelling, infections, varicoceles, blood flow problems, hernias, or signs of cancer, allowing early diagnosis and guiding treatment if needed. It also gives peace of mind by confirming whether everything is normal.

Is it safe and will it hurt?

Yes, a testes/scrotum ultrasound is completely safe and painless.

It uses sound waves (not radiation) to create images of your organs, so there are no known side effects. During the scan, a small amount of gel is applied to your skin, and the sonographer gently moves a handheld probe over your scrotum. You may feel light pressure, but there is no discomfort or pain.
