Men’s health ultrasound can support the assessment of suitable scrotal, testicular, kidney, bladder or urinary concerns. New acute testicular pain is an urgent symptom and should not be delayed for routine booking.
Use the examination finder to search the currently listed scan options by symptom, body area or preparation need. The clinic team should confirm the most appropriate examination, preparation and booking pathway before an appointment is made.
An ultrasound scan answers a specific imaging question. It does not replace emergency assessment, urgent maternity care, urgent breast assessment or a wider clinical review where those are needed.

View full profileHow to choose the appropriate examination
The best scan depends on the body area, symptoms, pregnancy status, prior results and the clinical question. If you are unsure, start with a private GP or speak to the clinic team before booking.
| Concern or starting point | Possible route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Testicular or scrotal concern | Scrotal ultrasound pathway | Acute severe pain requires urgent assessment. |
| Urinary symptoms or a kidney/bladder question | Urinary tract ultrasound pathway | A GP assessment may be the best first step if the correct test is unclear. |
| New lump or persistent concern | Clinical assessment plus appropriate imaging | A scan result should be interpreted in the appropriate clinical context. |
Preparation and appointment planning
Preparation depends on the examination. Urinary imaging commonly has bladder-related instructions; the clinic will provide the current requirement before booking.
Preparation varies by examination. Confirm the current instructions with the clinic when booking, and bring relevant referral letters, previous reports or test results where available.
When to use an urgent pathway instead
Sudden severe testicular pain, swelling, trauma with significant pain or a rapidly worsening condition requires urgent assessment rather than routine self-booking.
A routine private scan should never delay emergency or specialist urgent assessment. If you are unsure how urgent a symptom is, use NHS 111 or the appropriate emergency service.
