Ultrasound imaging uses high frequency soundwaves to make images of internal structures. Doppler uses the reflection of soundwaves caused by moving objects like red blood cells. A testicular Doppler ultrasound thus both shows the internal structures of the scrotum mainly the testicles and the blood flow to and from it.
High frequency sound waves are completely safe and use no harmful radiation waves
A testicular Doppler Ultrasound is an easy diagnostic imaging procedure that takes no longer than 20-30 minutes. The patient will lay back on the exam table, The doctor will lift the penis towards the abdomen and cover the scrotum with an ultrasound gel (high frequency soundwaves have a difficult time traveling through air) this allows visualizing the internal organs on the monitor screen, and enhances the connection between the scrotum skin and transducer.
A doppler ultrasound is a diagnostic tool. A testicular Doppler ultrasound can also be called a scrotal duplex.
The scrotal area is very vascular and most testicular/scrotal conditions manifest in similar symptoms; pain, redness, erectile dysfunction. So, if your doctor feels or suspects something and can’t be sure as to what exactly it is, he will ask for a testicular doppler ultrasound.
The Doppler ultrasound usually confirms or excludes any of the following;
Doppler ultrasound is mainly a diagnostic test and it is also known as a scrotal duplex. If you have similar symptoms that could accompany different diseases a doppler ultrasound can give answers to what the disease is and how it can be treated accordingly.
Since a testicular doppler ultrasound is not a procedure that requires anesthesia so there are no prior preparations such as fasting needed. It is however important to realize that the groin area will be exposed to do the test and if you are self-conscious or uncomfortable notify your doctor! A small talk and procedure explanation can do wonders. Bedaya Hospital has an expert team of andrologists that will guide you through the steps of the procedure, set you at ease, give you an accurate diagnosis and set up a treatment plan. If the diagnosis made could be improved by lifestyle changes, we have an excellent team of nutritionists that can set up a diet plan and refer you to a suitable exercising coach.
Duplex x-rays may also help the doctor detect injuries to the arteries or to monitor certain treatments of the veins and arteries over time thus seeing how a given treatment or surgical procedure has benefitted the patient’s condition or not, if necessary adjustments are made to the treatment plan.
For her
If you or someone you know is affected by failing attempts of ICSI, this video serves as a beacon of hope, offering valuable insights and resources. Let's give some attention to this warrior lady called Gamila as she faces physical pain and mental\emotional stress during her many attempts through ICSI for 15 years. Mrs. Gamila and her husband Mr. Ashraf were guided by a friend to Bedaya Hospital where they finally had a successful ICSI. We hope that this video will not only educate but also foster a sense of community among those touched by unsuccessful ICSI before.
