Testicular ultrasound is an imaging procedure to examine the
testicles and other scrotal structures. A ultrasound is performed
by moving the ultrasound transducer over the scrotum. Ultrasound
pictures are viewed on a monitor at the same time. Testicular
ultrasound is performed to help determine the cause of testicular
enlargement or the reason for testicular pain.
