I just went to the docs today about some aches in the groin area..he did a physical examination and said something was enlarged (a vein)? he told me to lay off alot of the meat and cheese for a while and wanted to do a testicle ultrasound. Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for a testicle ultrasound and what they can find out from it? thanks.

You will be lying on your back with your legs spread. The health care provider will then drape a cloth or apply wide strips of adhesive tape across the thighs under the scrotum. The scrotal sac will then be slightly elevated with the testicles lying side by side. A clear, water-based conducting gel is applied to the scrotal sac to help with the transmission of the sound waves. The ultrasound transducer (a hand-held probe) is then moved over the scrotum.

Yeah that's correct, but for future reference it's always best to cite your source when it's not your own.

In reply to: that is my own Really? Univ. Of Maryland Medicine, Same Word For Word! In reply to: Definition: The testicles are the male reproductive organs that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. They are located in the scrotum (the flesh-covered sac that hangs between the legs at the base of the penis). Testicle ultrasound is an imaging procedure to examine the testicles and other scrotal structures. The ultrasound machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off scrotal structures to create a picture. There is no ionizing radiation exposure with this test. Alternative Names: Scrotal ultrasound; Testicular sonogram How the test is performed: You will be lying on your back with your legs spread. The health care provider will then drape a cloth or apply wide strips of adhesive tape across the thighs under the scrotum. The scrotal sac will then be slightly elevated with the testicles lying side by side. A clear, water-based conducting gel is applied to the scrotal sac to help with the transmission of the sound waves. The ultrasound transducer (a hand-held probe) is then moved over the scrotum. How to prepare for the test: Adults:No special preparation is necessary for this test.Children:The physical and psychological preparation you can provide for this or any test or procedure depends on your child's age, interests, previous experience, and level of trust. For specific information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topic if it corresponds to your child's age:Adolescent test or procedure preparation (12 to 18 years) How the test will feel: There is little discomfort. The conducting gel may feel slightly cold and wet. Why the test is performed: The ultrasound is done to help determine the cause of testicular enlargement or the reason for testicular pain.
