Scrotal Ultrasound
A non-invasive imaging test to evaluate the testes and identify treatable causes of male infertility.
Purpose
Scrotal ultrasound is used to assess the testes, epididymis, and surrounding scrotal structures. It helps identify structural issues that may affect sperm production or contribute to infertility.
Evaluates testes, epididymis, and scrotal structures.
Procedure
A painless ultrasound scan is performed over the scrotum using gel and a transducer to visualize scrotal structures.
Patient Preparation
The scan is done in a clinic/radiology room; no special preparation is usually needed.
Gel Application
Gel is applied to the scrotal area to help the ultrasound probe transmit clear images.
Ultrasound Imaging
Procedure: Non-invasive imaging with gel and transducer over the scrotum. The clinician moves the transducer gently to evaluate structures.
Report & Next Steps
Results are reviewed to guide treatment (e.g., further evaluation, medical management, or varicocele management if indicated).
Clinical Relevance
Scrotal ultrasound helps detect: varicocele, hydrocele, testicular tumors, and undescended testes. These findings can explain abnormal semen parameters and guide the next fertility step.
Clinical Evidence
Varicocele repair can improve sperm quality and natural conception rates.
