Understanding the USG Scrotum & Testis Test
What It Is:
The USG (Ultrasound) Scrotum & Testis test is a non-invasive, painless imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the scrotum and testicles.
It helps diagnose a range of conditions affecting the scrotum, testicles, and surrounding structures.
Why It's Done:
Diagnosing Scrotal and Testicular Conditions:
Helps identify abnormalities in the scrotum and testicles, such as cysts, tumors, infections, or inflammation.
Assists in diagnosing conditions like testicular torsion, epididymitis, and varicocele.
Monitoring Health:
Used to evaluate the size, shape, and condition of the testicles and scrotum.
Helps assess symptoms such as scrotal pain, swelling, and lumps.
How the Test Works:
Preparation:
No special preparation is required. Drink plenty of water before the USG procedure to ensure a full bladder.
Wear loose-fitting clothing and remove any metallic jewelry.
Procedure:
A trained radiologist will apply a gel to the scrotal area and gently move the probe (transducer) over the skin, generating real-time images.
The ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the scrotum and testicles, and the resulting images are recorded on a computer.
You may need to momentarily turn or hold your breath to capture the best possible views.
Understanding the Results:
Abnormal Findings:
Enlarged testicles, fluid in the scrotum, cysts, tumors, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
Normal Findings:
Testicles and scrotum appear normal in size, shape, and position, with no signs of abnormalities.
