What is an ultrasound testes?
Testicular ultrasound is a non -invasive medical imaging study of scrotum and surrounding structures. This test can provide information about pain, infertility, growth or other problems in this area. This does not include the use of radiation and is not dangerous to patients, even if it can cause some physical discomfort. In addition to standard ultrasound, the technician can also use Doppler technology technology to evaluate blood flow in the testicles. The test results may be available immediately or after the care provider has time to review images, depending on why the test was ordered.

ultrasonic led procedures can also be performed on the testes. Most often it is in the form of a biopsy of the aspiration of the needle. In this test, the doctor carefully inserts the needle to collect a sample of cells or fluid from inside the testicles. Ultrasound helps care providers to find an area for sampling and lead in and out with accuracy. Ultrasound can also lead someone to seek material for dialing and evaluate, or can help the provider to check the size of the matter at subsequent meetings.
somePatients experience pain and discomfort because lying of the test may be embarrassing and the technician may need to be pressed firmly to get clear images.

An involuntary erection may also occur during the testicular ultrasound. Although the patients may feel embarrassed, the technicians understand that it is normal, they probably saw it earlier and usually can handle the situation.
