Ultrasound of the testicles
Ultrasound examination of the scrotum (testicles) is a procedure that allows you to assess the internal state of the tissues, the structure of the scrotum, and to understand how well all the parameters correspond to the norm. The procedure has no contraindications and is completely painless. Modern ultrasound devices are equipped with a doppler and allow to study both the structure of the organ and to evaluate the blood flow system.
