A Penis Ultrasound Scan with Colour Doppler is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the structure and blood flow of the penis. This scan helps detect conditions such as lumps, Peyronie’s disease, penile trauma, and vascular problems linked to erectile dysfunction. It provides detailed images and blood flow information, allowing healthcare providers to make accurate diagnoses and guide appropriate treatment.
What is a Penis Ultrasound Scan with Colour Doppler?
A Penis Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the tissues and structures within the penis. When combined with Colour Doppler imaging, it also assesses blood flow in the penile arteries and veins. This is particularly useful for evaluating:
· ✅ Plaques and masses: Detecting scar tissue (plaques) that may cause curvature during erections.
· ✅ Penile trauma: Assessing tissue or blood vessel damage after injury.
· ✅ Penile cancer: Evaluating lumps, masses, or abnormalities that may need further investigation.
· ✅ Erectile dysfunction (ED): Checking blood flow problems that may cause difficulties achieving or maintaining an erection.
Important Preparation Instructions
We can perform the Colour Doppler evaluation for assessment of Erectile Dysfunction only if you have been prescribed Viagra (or similar medication) or self-injection of penile vasoactive drugs (such as Caverject) by your doctor.
· If using Viagra (or similar medication), you must take the tablet 40–60 minutes before your scan appointment.
· If you are using a self-injection, you should bring your medication and perform the injection at the clinic during the scan under our guidance.
Please consult your doctor to confirm if you are suitable for these medications before booking your scan.
