Testicle Ultrasound Examination (children aged 0 - 10 years) is a modern, safe, and non-invasive diagnostic method used to evaluate the structure, size, and blood flow in the testicles of children.
The purpose of the examination includes:
Assessment of testicular structure - ultrasound can detect tissue inhomogeneity, cysts, or other pathological changes;
Monitoring size and symmetry - comparison of the left and right testicles within normal limits, providing important information for detecting hypoplasia or atrophy;
Evaluation of blood flow (Doppler mode) - allows the physician to assess the speed and direction of blood flow in the testicles, which is important for identifying torsion or signs of venous insufficiency;
Detection of pathological conditions - such as cryptorchidism (undescended testicle), hydrocele, spermatocele, or varicocele.
Testicular ultrasound is safe, non-invasive, and can be repeated as needed, making it particularly effective for use in young children.
