What Is a Scrotal Ultrasound Scan?

A scrotal ultrasound scan is a safe, non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of the testicles and surrounding structures without radiation.

It can examine the testicles, epididymis, blood vessels, and scrotal tissues. Doppler ultrasound may also be used to check blood flow.

Your doctor may recommend a scan for pain, swelling, a lump, injury, suspected varicocele or hydrocele, or concerns about male fertility.

Conditions We Investigate With a Scrotal Ultrasound

At Luna Fertility, a scrotal ultrasound can help investigate pain, swelling, lumps and other changes affecting the testicles and scrotum.

Using ultrasound and Doppler imaging where appropriate, we can assess the testicles, epididymis, blood vessels and surrounding tissues to help identify possible causes.

Varicocele

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins around the testicle. It may cause discomfort and can sometimes affect male fertility.

Doppler ultrasound can assess the veins and blood flow, helping our team understand whether further fertility assessment is needed.

Hydrocele

A hydrocele is a build-up of fluid around a testicle that can cause swelling or heaviness.

Ultrasound can identify the fluid and help distinguish a hydrocele from other causes of scrotal swelling.

Epididymal Cysts

An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops around the epididymis. Ultrasound can assess its location and appearance.

Our team can explain the findings and advise whether further assessment is required.

Testicular Cysts

Testicular cysts are fluid-filled areas that can be identified during an ultrasound scan.

Imaging helps assess their size, location, and appearance so our fertility specialists can recommend appropriate next steps.

Epididymitis and Other Inflammatory Changes

Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis and may cause pain, swelling and tenderness.

Ultrasound and Doppler imaging can help assess inflammatory changes and blood flow around the affected area.

Testicular Torsion

Testicular torsion occurs when the testicle twists and its blood supply is affected. It requires urgent medical attention.

If you experience sudden or severe testicular pain, seek emergency medical care immediately rather than waiting for a routine scan.

Testicular Masses

A testicular lump or mass should always be assessed by a healthcare professional. Ultrasound can help identify its location and characteristics.

At Luna Fertility, we can help investigate unusual findings and advise when further specialist assessment may be appropriate.

Fluid Collections

A scrotal ultrasound can identify fluid collections around the testicles, including those linked with hydrocele, inflammation or injury.

The scan can show where the fluid is located and help our team determine the appropriate next step.

Other Testicular and Scrotal Abnormalities

Ultrasound can also investigate other changes affecting the testicles, epididymis, blood vessels, and scrotal tissues.

At Luna Fertility, we assess these findings alongside your symptoms and fertility concerns to provide clear guidance.

Scrotal Ultrasound for Fertility Treatment

At Luna Fertility, we use scrotal ultrasound as part of a personalised male fertility assessment when we need to investigate the testicles, blood flow, or other structures that may affect reproductive health.

The scan can provide useful information alongside other fertility tests. Depending on your individual needs, our fertility team may recommend:

Male Fertility

We use scrotal ultrasound to look for structural conditions that may contribute to fertility problems, such as varicocele or changes affecting the testicles.

We consider your scan results alongside your symptoms, medical history and other fertility investigations to plan appropriate care.

Semen Analysis

A semen analysis assesses sperm count, movement, and shape. It is one of the key tests we use when investigating male infertility.

Combining semen analysis with ultrasound can give our team a more complete understanding of your reproductive health.

Hormone Testing

We may recommend hormone blood tests, including testosterone, FSH, and LH, to assess factors involved in sperm production and reproductive function.

Our fertility specialists will advise which tests are appropriate based on your individual fertility assessment.

Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing

A sperm DNA fragmentation test assesses the integrity of genetic material within sperm. We may consider this test in specific fertility circumstances.

It can provide additional information when standard fertility tests do not fully explain fertility difficulties.

Genetic Testing

Where appropriate, we may recommend genetic testing to investigate possible genetic factors affecting sperm production or male fertility.

At Luna Fertility, we tailor fertility investigations to your individual circumstances and explain each recommended test clearly.
