Testicular Ultrasound Scan Q&A
2. What does the testicular ultrasound scan include?
In this scan we will
- Take your relevant medical history
- Provide 10 minutes consultation
- Explain all findings during and after your ultrasound scan
- Write an official scan report within 24 hrs, with appropriate images included in the report
- Recommend a follow-up ultrasound scan if necessary
- Offer GP or specialist referral and a Blood Test if needed
3. What is the most common finding of an testicular ultrasound scan?
- an infection in your testicle
- testicular torsion
- a testicular tumor
- a benign cyst
- a varicocele
- a hydrocele, which is a benign collection of fluid around your testicle
- a spermatocele, which is a fluid-filled cyst on the ducts of your testicle
4. Would I need a blood test?
In some cases, we will recommend a relevant blood test.
5. What kind of preparation do I need?
- You will be asked be fasting at least 4-6 hours before your abdominal ultrasound scan appointment. ( You are not allowed to drink Tea or Coffee, or eat porridge)
- You must drink at least one litre of water one hour before your appointment.
- If you have diabetes, please eat and drink as usual.
- If you are on medication, please take your medicines on time.
6. What happens during the testicular ultrasound scan?
Our Ultrasound Specialists will explain the procedure before your scan. You will be guided to lie on your back on the examination couch. A small amount of water-based gel will be applied to your abdomen. Our specialist will move the probe on your skin to produce diagnostic ultrasound images. You will not feel any discomfort during your ultrasound scan. An testicular ultrasound scan is regularly completed within 20 minutes. Our Sonographer will recommend the best course of action, depending on the ultrasound scan findings.
7. When will I get the results?
You will receive your results verbally after the scan. However, the Sonographer will examine the relevant images after your appointment and prepare a written report after your scan or within 24 hours with any recommended actions. The report will be sent to you so that you can discuss the findings with your doctor, if required.
8. What are the risks of an testicular ultrasound?
There are no risks or side effects associated with the testicular ultrasound scan. Ultrasound does not use any radiation, which is why doctors prefer to use them to check on developing babies in pregnant women.

This is our new go to if an independent scan is required.1. Ashleigh was precise with her instructions which incorporated an empathic approach.2. The examination was thorough with all details explained.We were both left with greater confidence after the examination process.

Excellent service. After discovering a lump I saw my GP who said it was possibly cancerous. I could not immediately get any NHS appointment for a follow-up so I was willing to pay for a private scan. I could get a very quick appointment at London Private Ultrasound. I was seen on time, no waiting, and Ashleigh Austin who carried out the ultrasound was very thorough whilst being friendly and reassuring. I got the full report and all the images less than three hours later. The reception and ultrasound rooms were very clean and modern. It actually cost less than I expected and was worth every penny for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend.

My Breast US appointment at this clinic couldn't be better. Dr. Reza has a high level of specialism and provided me with relevant information throughout the imaging test. He and his team have a very professional approach, in a calm atmosphere. Surely I'd recommend to anyone.

Reza Farahmandfar was brilliant during my ultrasound. He was highly knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to about my concerns. He explained what he was doing throughout the process to keep me at ease and answered all my questions throughout the process. Thank you very much for your help.Edit: whilst I maintain my opinion that the sonographer here was very kind and approachable, after further testing with an actual specialist (Doctor) just a few days later; when they repeated their own ultrasound it was found that the results received at London Private Ultrasound for the imaging was incorrect and misinterpreted, there were also two mild issues that were present but had been missed at this clinic. I also had further specialised imaging and various tests to further confirm the issue at hand and that’s why I have waited until now to edit my review.

Oh gosh these people here! I came in with my husband as he fund a strange lump. I was really upset and worried. The receptionist, God bless him, saw me uneasy and tried enerything to make me feel better. He offered cookies and played me some relaxing music. 😀😀😀 Then dr.Fay explained me everything, saw that I was worried, even though she explained everything to my husband already. Such an Angel. The lump was nothing, but the attitude of these great people was EVERYTHING. Hope we will not need much of the services in the future, but it is great to know you can get a support like this in case you need it. Thank you, dear friends. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely first class. An extremely competent and patient friendly operation with the very best equipment, and available for urgent appointments. The doctor carried out the scan efficiently and explained everything, attentive to all my concerns and questions. The booking was easy, there was no wait and the doctor was kind enough to send me the report on the same day for an urgent hospital consultation. I used London Private Ultrasound because my consultant's hospital had no available slots and I am very glad that I did.

Great clinic - clinicians who listen, are thorough and highly professional. Very little waiting time and both my diagnosis and procedure (Baker cyst drainage and steroid injections) were carried out to a high standard and everything dealt with in a few days. I have had very little after pain and made a quick recovery. I was hesitant about going private and spending the money - I am neither wealthy nor health insured - but it has been well worth it to be pain free and get on with my life. Highly recommended.

Fantastic team and a great experience. I came in from the U.S. because our medical system is ridiculous, and I just needed a quick scan to put my mind at ease. The team was friendly, efficient, the cost was reasonable and I received my results immediately to put my mind at ease. I was also offered options for future screenings - I'll definitely be a "Medical Tourist" to London Private Ultrasound in the future! 🙂

My doctor referred me for an ultrasound scan, after three weeks I still had no appointment date, I decided on a private one. London private ultrasound had great reviews and was competitively priced. I booked getting a next day appointment, I am very happy to recommend them, excellent professional, polite service, and I received the report and images while still on my way home*****

the servise was very fast. I arrived a little earlier then my appointment and didn't have to wait a lot. It was very easy to set up the appointment. I didn't have to bring referral. Which was beneficial as it saved time. I've got the results verbaly on the spot and then the written report arrived within less than 24 hours. Over all, good service for reasonable price.

We recently fell for an internet scam using this same businesses address but with a slightly different name. We had booked an early pregnancy scan for my wife. The staff were incredibly understanding and helpful. Once Dr Pedram understood what had happened he even offered us a free session as we were very stressed and distraught from the whole situation. They saved the day and it all went well, a true gentleman! I couldn't recommend this studio enough, not only are they very professional but they are also lovely people.

Had a lymph node scan back August. The service and treatment were amazing. comfortable and able to receive good information. M.Aghaei was the person who performed my scan and was also able to help me with getting my GP to pay attention to my concerns. If I had any issues and didn’t want to wait for the NHS I would definitely come back again to receive scan or blood tests work. So happy with LPU

Had an appointment with Pedram M. Aghaei who was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, calm and respectful, explaining everything in a way I could understand and fully involving me in the process by showing me diagrams and also explaining the results on screen while the ultrasound was being performed. I was very anxious and had wound myself up before the appointment, but he was immediately very gentle and reassuring. Would definitely recommend this clinic.

I was able to book 2 scans and 2 blood tests and have them later the same day. The clinic was very efficient in the booking process, it was easy to find, clean and well appointed and the staff were friendly and efficient. Everything was well explained to me and the results were given to me on the day where possible and within the timescale projected for those I had to wait for. This was a very reassuring to have my tests so quickly and stopped a lot of worrying. The radiologist was very thorough and went the extra mile. Highly recommended service.

I was very satisfied! I booked appointment for early pregnancy scan. For specific price they give detailed ultrasound of the embryo, his arms, legs, and heartbeat speed and others. also they look all around very detailed ultrasonic scanning. They sent us an email with at least 30 photos, videos and a written report about the general condition and condition of the embryo. It was professional in my opinion, I was in other clinics where they don’t do anything like that and don’t consider it in detail. I can advise this place with confidence.
