WHAT DOES AN ULTRASOUND OF THE MALE GENITALIA SHOW?

Using ultrasound, a doctor evaluates the structure of the organ, cavernous and spongy bodies, veins and arteries, protein membranes, blood flow speed, and vessel elasticity.

The main pathologies that a doctor can detect during this examination include:

Congenital abnormalities.

Benign formations.

Malignant pathologies.

Cavernous fibrosis (often the cause of erection problems).

Peyronie’s disease (organ distortion due to fibrous tissue growth).

Blood vessel thrombi in the genitalia, atherosclerotic changes in vessels.

Any pathology of the human internal systems affects quality of life, and if it specifically concerns the male reproductive system, it can have negative physical and psychological consequences. Timely consultation with a doctor is a step towards health.

Preparation for examination

Before the diagnosis, perform hygiene. Refrain from intimate contact on the day of the examination. Do not consume alcohol the day before and on the day of the procedure.
