Doppler - Scrotal / Testicular
Scrotal/Testicular Doppler is an ultrasound test used to evaluate blood flow and structure of the testes and surrounding tissues.
Doppler – Scrotal / Testicular is a specialized ultrasound examination that assesses the testes, epididymis, scrotal sac, and surrounding structures along with blood flow using Doppler technology.
This scan is highly effective in diagnosing conditions such as testicular torsion (a medical emergency), epididymitis, orchitis, varicocele, hydrocele, infections, trauma, and tumors. The Doppler component helps evaluate blood flow to and from the testes, which is crucial in distinguishing between different conditions.
It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing scrotal pain, swelling, lumps, or discomfort. The test provides real-time imaging and accurate assessment, helping doctors make prompt and effective treatment decisions.
The procedure is safe, non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for all age groups.
The purpose of this Doppler – Scrotal / Testicular test is to:
- Evaluate blood flow in the testes
- Detect testicular torsion or reduced blood supply
- Identify infections or inflammation
- Diagnose varicocele, hydrocele, or masses
- Assess scrotal pain or swelling
- Detect tumors or structural abnormalities
