Experiencing Testicular Discomfort or Fertility Issues? Book a Scrotal Ultrasound in KSA

If you’re facing discomfort, swelling, or unexplained fertility issues, a scrotal ultrasound is one of the most effective tools for diagnosing the underlying cause. 

At VIVILITY across Saudi Arabia — including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Tabuk, and Al Hofuf — we offer fast, accurate, and non-invasive testicular imaging to evaluate your reproductive health and guide treatment planning.

Our male reproductive specialists use the latest ultrasound technology to detect testicular abnormalities, swelling, trauma, or causes of male infertility in real-time.

Scrotal ultrasound is also commonly used to monitor patients with a history of testicular issues or to confirm the success of varicocele treatment or post-surgical outcomes. This makes it a vital component in long-term male reproductive health monitoring.

What is a Scrotal Ultrasound?

A scrotal ultrasound (or testicular ultrasound) is a painless, non-invasive imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the testicles, scrotum, and surrounding tissue. This diagnostic scan helps evaluate:

  • Testicular size and structure
  • Blood flow (Doppler technique)
  • Lumps, swelling, or abnormal growths
  • Causes of male infertility or testicular pain
  • Presence of fluid accumulation or infections
  • Post-surgical testicular assessment

It is also widely used in diagnosing varicocele, epididymitis, hydrocele, and other conditions that could affect fertility or cause discomfort.

Why Scrotal Ultrasound is Performed

At VIVILITY, our urologists recommend a scrotal ultrasound when a patient presents with symptoms or concerns such as:

  • Pain, swelling, or heaviness in the testicles
  • Detection of a lump in the scrotum
  • Evaluation of varicocele (enlarged veins that affect sperm production)
  • Investigation of testicular torsion (twisting of the testicle that can cut off blood supply)
  • Unexplained infertility or abnormal semen parameters
  • Suspected epididymal cyst, hydrocele, or spermatocele
  • Rule out testicular tumors or scrotal hernia

Scrotal ultrasound can be both a first-line diagnostic tool and part of a more comprehensive fertility assessment.

If you’re experiencing any of the above, schedule a consultation at VIVILITY in Riyadh, Jeddah, or any major city in KSA.

When Should You Get a Scrotal Ultrasound?

You should consider getting a testicular ultrasound if you experience:

  • Persistent or sharp testicular pain
  • Unexplained swelling or fluid buildup
  • Male infertility symptoms or unexplained fertility delays
  • Discomfort after injury or trauma
  • Lumps, even if painless
  • Abnormal semen analysis results
  • Changes in testicular size or shape
  • History of cryptorchidism (undescended testicles)

A timely ultrasound can provide crucial insights and help prevent complications like testicular loss from undiagnosed torsion.

How a Scrotal Ultrasound is Done

The procedure is simple, safe, and usually completed within 15 to 30 minutes:

  1. Preparation: No fasting or special preparation is needed. You may be asked to remove clothing below the waist and wear a medical gown.
  2. Positioning: You lie on your back, and a rolled towel or support is placed under your scrotum to keep it elevated.
  3. Scanning: A water-based gel is applied to the scrotal area. The technician then uses a handheld device called a transducer to gently move across the skin, capturing detailed internal images.
  4. Doppler Imaging: If required, Doppler ultrasound assesses blood flow and detects any vascular abnormalities.
  5. Review: The images are reviewed by a radiologist and sent to your doctor for diagnosis and recommendations.

It is completely non-invasive, safe, and painless, making it suitable for men of all ages.

What Conditions Can Be Diagnosed with Scrotal Ultrasound?

Scrotal Ultrasound

A scrotal scan can detect and differentiate between several medical conditions, including:

  • Varicocele – Enlarged veins within the scrotum that may lead to poor sperm quality
  • Hydrocele – Accumulation of fluid around the testicle
  • Spermatocele – Benign fluid-filled cyst in the epididymis
  • Epididymal cysts
  • Testicular torsion – A medical emergency that cuts off blood supply to the testicle
  • Orchitis or epididymitis – Infections causing pain and swelling
  • Testicular tumors or cancer
  • Scrotal hernias
  • Conditions contributing to azoospermia or blocked sperm pathways

Scrotal Ultrasound & Male Infertility

Scrotal ultrasound plays a critical role in diagnosing causes of male infertility, such as:

  • Blocked sperm pathways (obstructive azoospermia)
  • Varicocele-related motility issues
  • Structural defects that reduce sperm quality
  • Epididymal abnormalities that interfere with sperm maturation
  • Testicular atrophy and reduced volume

It is often used in conjunction with semen analysis, hormonal blood work, and testicular biopsy to form a comprehensive fertility profile.

Interpreting Your Ultrasound Results

After your scan, the results are interpreted by a radiologist and discussed with you during a follow-up consultation. You’ll learn:

  • Whether your scrotal structures appear normal
  • If there are any cysts, swellings, or abnormal blood flow
  • Whether additional tests are needed
  • How findings correlate with your fertility challenges

Your doctor may then recommend fertility treatments, lifestyle changes, or additional imaging based on your scan.
