A scrotum ultrasound, also known as a testicular ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the scrotum and its contents, including the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding tissues. It is commonly performed to evaluate conditions such as testicular pain, swelling, lumps, infertility, and trauma. Scrotum ultrasound helps in diagnosing various conditions such as testicular torsion, epididymitis, hydrocele, varicocele, and testicular cancer. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and typically does not require any special preparation. It provides valuable information for healthcare professionals to assess scrotal health and guide treatment decisions.
