Question 1

Do I need to pause my usual medications before undergoing Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no need to disrupt the usual medications before undergoing Scrotum Ultrasound. Even if you take medicine before the procedure, you must not have a full stomach or bladder. Still, if you are under over-the-counter medications, it is better to consult your physician.

Question 2

What is the use of the gel during Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

During the Scrotum Ultrasound, the water-based, warm gel is applied on your skin called hydrogel. This gel facilitates the easy movement of the transducer on your skin. It also helps the conduction of the sound waves. The gels dry automatically after the test.

Question 3

Does Scrotum Ultrasound hurt?

Accepted Answer

No, Scrotum Ultrasound is a painless procedure. However, you might feel the pressure on the area under examination due to the transducer. While suffering from testicular swelling, the pain is due to inflammation of the testicles rather than the procedure itself.

Question 4

If I am suffering from diabetes, can I undergo Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Yes, even if you have diabetes, you can undergo Scrotum Ultrasound. Just remember to take insulin before the imaging test. Although, you must avoid eating or drinking anything else before the test.

Question 5

Why is it asked to hold your breath during the ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

You have to hold your breath several times during the Scrotum Ultrasound because it fills the lungs and allows better visualization of the organs. It also limits the movements of the organs and gives accurate results. Although, it is difficult in the case of infants or kids.

Question 6

Can I detect infertility using Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Scrotum Ultrasound can be used to detect infertility in males. It examines the scrotum and testicles that produce and store sperm. Problems affecting the testicles like cysts, tumors, infection, previous surgeries in this organ, or undescended testicles might result in infertility.

Question 7

What will happen if I eat something before Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

If you eat something just before the Scrotum Ultrasound, the undigested food remains in the stomach and urine in the bladder. This food and urine can block the sound waves and thus influence the accuracy of the results.

Question 8

Can I get the accurate results for the blunt scrotal trauma by Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Scrotum Ultrasound is used to diagnose a rupture of testes due to blunt scrotal trauma. Many studies have shown that the accuracy of the result is around 56%. You must opt for any other imaging test or surgical procedure under such conditions.

Question 9

What is the reason to suffer from Spermatocele?

Accepted Answer

Spermatocele is a result of sperm built up in the epididymis. The blockage or inflammation in the duct of the epididymis can result in Spermatocele. Although still, the exact reason is not known. The examination of the scrotum detects Spermatocele.

Question 10

Is it possible to diagnose the reason for testicular lump by Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

No, you can only validate testicular lump using Scrotum Ultrasound but not the reason for the same. Usually, such lumps are benign and indicate cancer. The doctor needs more imaging tests like MRI or biopsies to examine the cause of the testicular lump.

Question 11

What are the benefits of undergoing an Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Scrotum Ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless, comfortable, easy to use, and cheap procedure. The test is safe because it doesn’t involve radiation. Scrotum Ultrasound provides real-time imaging, thus a tool to guide further tests like biopsies and fluid aspiration.

Question 12

What is the cost of Scrotum Ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

The cost of Scrotum Ultrasound varies from city to city in India. It costs around ₹ 840, ₹ 1030, ₹ 770, ₹ 808 in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, respectively. You can get a discount ranging between 20-70% on Ultrasound tests using the MFine app.

Question 13

Is Scrotum Ultrasound a limited or complete abdomen ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Scrotum Ultrasound is a limited ultrasound test since it measures, evaluates, and diagnoses only primary reproductive organs in the males (testes located inside the scrotum) and surrounding tissues. Complete abdomen ultrasound evaluates all the abdominal organs in the males.

Question 14

Can anyone be allergic to the gel used in ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Usually, people are not allergic to the hydrogel used in ultrasound. In rare cases, allergic reactions due to gel include rashes, itching, swelling, blisters, or wheezing. Such allergies can occur due to a purpuric reaction after mixing phenoxyethanol and paraben.

Question 15

Can I undergo Scrotum Ultrasound if I have a Titanium plate inside my body?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can undergo Scrotum Ultrasound even if you have a Titanium plate in your body since this test is non-invasive. It doesn’t use any radiation, so there is no reaction between titanium and sound waves. Titanium plate doesn’t influence the results of the test.
