Ultrasound of the scrotum organs in children

This is a complex of skin and muscle tissue (a kind of "sac"), inside which are the spermatic cord, testicles, and epididymis. At birth, the wall is very thin, sluggish, until the boy's age becomes more elastic. When a boy becomes a man, the testicles take an active part in the production of sperm, which are excreted through the spermatic cord and the male sex hormone.

Ultrasound of the child's scrotum does not require additional preparation. Parents should only hold a hygienic toilet for the child's genitals, dress the baby in clothes that are convenient for quick undressing.

The examination takes about 15 minutes.

The procedure is performed for the child while lying on the couch. A special hypoallergenic gel is applied to the patient's skin in the scrotum area for better image visualization and more comfortable holding of the sensor over the child's skin. The sensor both sends ultrasonic waves and receives signals from the area under study, after which the image is displayed on the monitor screen.

Specialists of the Dobrobut Medical Center fill out the scrotal ultrasound protocol, provide the baby's parents with decryption of the information received, and give an opinion. If necessary, the child is referred to specialized doctors, or additional laboratory or instrumental examinations are prescribed.

According to statistics, about 58% of diseases in boys may pose a threat of male infertility in the future. Therefore, it is very important, if necessary, to conduct an ultrasound of the scrotum for the child and make an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner!

At the Dobrobut Medical Center in Kyiv, the ultrasound examination of children uses the most modern and high-class equipment to obtain high-quality and highly informative images.
