A testicular ultrasound (also known as a scrotal ultrasound) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the testicles and surrounding tissues. It is the primary imaging method used to assess issues related to the testicles, epididymis, and scrotum.

There are many benefits to scrotal imaging. Not only does the scan help identify what may be causing your scrotal discomfort, but it is painless, non-invasive, and free of any radiation.
A testicular ultrasound scan is painless and non-invasive. During the scan you will lie on your back and the clinician will used a water-based gel on your testicles. This gel helps them to visualise the anatomical structures and create high-quality images. A handheld transducer is used to capture the images.
Testicular ultrasound scans play a key role in the early detection of potentially serious conditions, such as testicular cancer or torsion, which require urgent care. In fact, most testicular cancers are highly treatable when caught early, and imaging is often the first step in diagnosis. Many men feel a little nervous about the exam, but it’s important to know that the medical professionals performing them are trained to ensure your comfort and dignity throughout. The procedure is done in a private setting at our Fusion Healthcare clinic by our experienced NHS clinicians.
