Details about Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan
What is a Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan?
A Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the testicles, epididymis, spermatic cord and surrounding scrotal tissues. It does not use radiation and is considered very safe.
The scan assesses testicular size, structure, blood flow (Doppler), fluid collections and masses. It is highly sensitive for detecting abnormalities that may not be apparent on physical examination alone.
This ultrasound is commonly used as the gold-standard first investigation for acute scrotal pain, suspected testicular lumps, swelling and fertility-related issues.
Why do I need a Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan?
A Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan is recommended when symptoms suggest a possible testicular or scrotal condition. It helps identify the cause, urgency and nature of the problem quickly and accurately.
You may need a Testes & Scrotum Ultrasound Scan if you experience:
- Testicular or scrotal pain
- Sudden onset of severe scrotal pain
- Swelling of one or both testicles
- A lump or mass in the scrotum
- Tenderness or discomfort
- Suspected testicular torsion
- Signs of infection or inflammation
- Fertility concerns or testicular size changes
- Injury or trauma to the scrotum
- Follow-up of known scrotal conditions
Prompt imaging is essential, especially in acute pain, to rule out urgent conditions.

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.
