Urinary Tract and Testicular Ultrasound Scan

A Urinary Tract and Testicular Ultrasound is a specialised, non-invasive imaging procedure that provides detailed insight into the health of the urinary system and testicles. This scan is essential for diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions, from urinary infections to testicular abnormalities, ensuring early detection and treatment of potential issues.

What is a Urinary Tract and Testicular Ultrasound?

This ultrasound focuses on two critical areas of male health:

Urinary Tract: This includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. The scan helps detect abnormalities like kidney stones, bladder dysfunction, and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Testicles: The scan examines the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding scrotal structures to check for conditions like testicular torsion, cysts, tumors, varicoceles, or hydrocele.

Why is a Urinary Tract and Testicular Ultrasound Important?

This scan is crucial for identifying conditions that may otherwise go undetected, including:

Kidney stones or blockages in the urinary system
Bladder problems, including retention or frequent infections
Testicular pain, swelling, or lumps
Testicular torsion, where the testicle twists and cuts off blood supply, requiring urgent care
Varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) or hydrocele (fluid accumulation around the testicle)
Testicular cancer or other growths
Fertility issues related to testicular health

Pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, or testicles
Frequent urination or difficulty urinating
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
A lump or swelling in the testicles
