Purpose
Ultrasound is a simple, safe and non-invasive method of evaluating the male genitalia.
Preparation
No specific preparation is required for this examination.
Procedure
You will be required to lie on the bed next to an ultrasound machine. The doctor or ultrasound technician will apply a jelly to the skin surface to improve contact between the probe and the skin. The ultrasound probe will then be moved smoothly and painlessly over the skin surface. Depending on the clinical circumstances, an examination may last from 10 to 25 min.
After Procedure
The ultrasound gel is water-soluble and easily cleaned. Normal activities may be continued immediately after the procedure.
