About USG Scrotum

A Scrotal Ultrasound (USG Scrotum) is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the scrotum and its internal structures, including the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding tissues. While typically performed by a radiologist or urologist, a nephrologist may conduct this procedure to evaluate scrotal issues that could be related to underlying kidney disease, such as varicoceles impacting fertility or assessing for hydroceles. It is a safe, radiation-free test that provides real-time visuals, helping to diagnose causes of pain, swelling, lumps, or trauma. This accurate imaging is crucial for differentiating between benign conditions and more serious concerns, guiding effective treatment plans.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
