Testicular Ultrasound Scan
A Testicular Ultrasound Scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that evaluates the testicles, epididymis, scrotal sac, and blood supply. This scan is useful for detecting testicular or scrotal abnormalities and supporting early diagnosis for a variety of conditions affecting men’s health.
The scan is commonly used to evaluate:
- Testicular masses or lumps
- Varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
- Testicular torsion
- Inflammation or infection
- Male infertility
Ultrasound imaging is painless, radiation-free, and highly effective, using sound waves to create detailed images of internal structures. Early detection of abnormalities can support timely management and better outcomes.
What are the reasons for Testicular Scan?
- Lump or swelling in the testicles
- Pain or discomfort in the testicles

- Previous testicular cancer

What are the preparations for Testicular Scan?
No special preparation is generally required for a Testicular Scan. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to allow easy access to the scrotal area and be prepared to remove any clothing covering the scrotum, such as pants or underwear. It is recommended to empty your bladder completely before the scan. During the procedure, a small amount of gel is applied to the scrotum to improve image quality. The scan is painless and typically causes no discomfort and remaining relaxed and still during the examination helps ensure the most accurate results.
