A scrotal ultrasound in Delhi is a painless, radiation-free scan of the testes and scrotum used to find the cause of pain, swelling or a lump. It is the key test for conditions such as hydrocele, varicocele, epididymitis, cysts and, importantly, for assessing a testicular lump. At Edge Imaging & Diagnostics in Paschim Vihar, West Delhi, the scrotal ultrasound (with colour Doppler) is performed accurately and with full privacy.
This guide explains what a scrotal ultrasound is, why it is done, what it checks, and what to expect.

What Is a Scrotal Ultrasound?
A scrotal (testicular) ultrasound uses sound waves to image the two testes, the epididymis and the surrounding scrotal tissue. Adding colour Doppler shows the blood flow, which is essential for diagnosing some conditions. It is a safe, painless test with no needle and no radiation, and it gives clear, immediate information.
Why Is a Scrotal Ultrasound Done?
- A lump or swelling in the testis or scrotum
- Pain in the testis or scrotum, or after an injury
- Hydrocele (fluid) or varicocele (enlarged veins)
- Epididymitis / orchitis (infection or inflammation)
- Suspected testicular torsion (a sudden, severe emergency)
- Infertility evaluation, or an undescended testis
What Does the Scan Check?
The radiologist examines the size and texture of each testis, looks for any lump or cyst, checks for a hydrocele or varicocele, and uses Doppler to confirm normal blood flow. Blood flow is especially important when torsion is suspected, because a twisted testis loses its blood supply and needs urgent treatment.
| Scrotal ultrasound checks | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Testis size & texture | Lumps, cysts or inflammation |
| Hydrocele / varicocele | Fluid or enlarged veins |
| Blood flow (Doppler) | Torsion or infection |
| Epididymis | Cysts or epididymitis |
A Note on Sudden, Severe Testicular Pain
Sudden, severe pain and swelling of one testis can be testicular torsion — a medical emergency where time matters. If this happens, seek urgent medical care immediately; an emergency scrotal ultrasound with Doppler helps confirm the diagnosis quickly.
How the Scan Is Performed and Is It Safe?
The scan is quick and done with privacy and care. Gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the scrotum while images and Doppler flow are recorded. It usually takes about 15–20 minutes, needs no preparation, and is completely painless and radiation-free. It is part of our wider ultrasound and colour Doppler services, alongside the penile Doppler.
