Details about Male Ultrasound
What is a Male Ultrasound?
A Male Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging examination that uses sound waves to create real-time images of male urogenital structures. Depending on the indication, it may assess the prostate gland, testicles, epididymis, scrotum, bladder, or surrounding pelvic tissues.
Ultrasound does not use radiation and is considered safe, painless and widely used in urological assessment. The scan provides detailed structural information that helps identify abnormalities, inflammation, enlargement, cysts or other changes.
Male ultrasound is commonly used for both diagnostic investigation and ongoing monitoring of urological conditions.
When a Male Ultrasound is recommended
A Male Ultrasound may be recommended when symptoms or findings suggest a urological or reproductive health concern.
You may be referred for this scan if you:
- Experience testicular pain, swelling or lumps
- Have urinary symptoms such as poor flow or frequency
- Have suspected prostate enlargement or inflammation
- Are being investigated for infertility concerns
- Have scrotal discomfort or trauma
- Require follow-up of known urological conditions
- Have abnormal blood test results related to prostate health

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
