Testicular Ultrasound Experiences?

I had to get an ultrasound on my testicles and groin area this week. I had been dreading it because I had heard it was painful and uncomfortable. My experience with a very gentle tech was quite easy and not painful at all. I was curious what type of experience others might have had.

I had one experience with it a few years ago, after suffering from hernia surgery complications. I had a female technician do the procedure, and I honestly didn’t care. I was only concerned with alleviating my physical pain.

Probably the most pleasant medical procedure I’ve ever had. It was performed by a 40ish female med-tech and her 20-something female assistant. They handed me a gown, told me to strip from the waist down, and left the room. The procedure itself is painless and the warm gel they put on the transducer felt absolutely wonderful. Almost sounds like a script for a porno movie: 2 women rub a warm gel over your nutsack.

I had a similar experience - had to remove pants and underwear. Was given a gown one time and a sheet / blanket at other times. Female techs two times and the other was a man. I was given a wash cloth or small towel to wrap around my penis and was told to hold it 'up.' that is, flat against my stomach. The procedure was easy and for some reason I was less anxious about having my testes being scanned than thinking about having a doctor perform a genital exam.

BTW it was for varicoceles.

I just posted a detailed recounting of the shrinkage humiliation I experienced during my testicular ultrasound on my blog pages if anyone wants to read it.

I had one 6 years ago for a cyst where the cord comes out the back. The young female tech who led me down to the room had an awesome bum. I took in the fine sight as she walked in front of me. I had to remove pants and cover myself with a sheet and she handed me a washcloth to hold my cock and preserve my modesty. I would have paid good money for her to see it and give an opinion.

The only physical sensation was the warm gel.

I have only had it done one time maybe twenty five years ago. I went to the clinic in town do to some pain in my groin. The older doctor that examined me said he couldn't feel anything wrong but testicular cancer was very common in guys my age and he was going to send me for a ultrasound. I didn't really know what to expect. When I got there I was brought back to a little cubicle and told to strip and put a gown on with the opening in the front. After I was changed the tech came and got me. She was a very young very good looking gal. I think she could tell that I was very nervous about having this done. She went out of her way to try and make me feel comfortable with her and what she was going to do. She was very caring and professional. She tried to keep me covered as much as possible but ut it really wasn't working. I pretty much completely exposed. I was trying to study the ceiling, the wall anything in the room to keep my mind off of what she was doing. She kept bumping my penis with her hand as she moved the transducer over my testicles. I was so glad when she was done and it was over and that I had made it out of there without embarrassing myself.

Same like @happygsp

I had an ultrasound of my testicles a few months ago at my urologist's office. I can confirm: it was not painful at all and went completely smoothly.

For me it was not painfull at all, just the ultrasound gel is really cold but that’s the most discomfort that the ultrasound caused

The gel they used for my procedure was warmed up! It was actually a pleasant feeling!

Very easy procedure for me with the exception of was being done because of a very painful/sensitive right testicle. They were ruling out testicular torsion so not another experience I would look forward to under those circumstances.

Seems my testicles and scrotum have been under examination in many different circumstances. No humiliation for me, my tiny penis isn't one of those you can wrap back with a towel so it's usually poking out to see what's going on. No erection though.

I’ve written about this previously. I woke one morning with a full ache in one of my testes. I called my Dr. She wanted to examine me, after doing my own reading and comparing the pain and what it felt like I asked her if I get could get an ultrasound. A female friend of mine said she would do it as long as my Dr. Would send in the paperwork. I was very comfortable with her as we’d had an off and on fwb situation for years. I suspected it was a hydrocele which was confirmed by her. It passed in time and that was the end of it.

I had one after wrecking my bicycle and coming down hard on the cross bar. The est it self was not painfull except that I was already very sore.

My Dr sent me for an ultrasound after examining me in both laying down and standing positions. She said she would send notes to have the scan done while I was standing. The tech was not interested in reading the notes, at first. She told me she can only scan while the patient is laying down. She finished the scan. Went through the findings and I assume read the notes. She then exhaled sharply saying the Dr wants the scan done while standing.

Now the entire time I got the feeling this tech was not interested in having to look at me, or look at my penis. For any reasons whatsoever.

She told me to stand next to the bed. I lifted myself up and stood up facing her. She watched me stand. She saw the wash cloth fall to the ground. She looked at her screen and began to move her wand around. She then would stare at my penis while doing her scan and screenshots. It was the weirdest thing. She didn't look at the buttons, and not at the screen. She scanned more places and spent more time while I was standing there holding my shirt up to my nipples.

She found bilateral hernias while I was in the standing position.

Years ago, back when PCP's actually did through exams, my doctor was doing physical which included a genital exam and noticed that I flinched when she touched my right testicle. I told her that it was painful and had been for a while. Since she knew that my health care policy was to ignore it and it would go away, she sent me for an ultrasound to see what was going on. I remember taking off my pants and putting on a gown waiting for the technician. I young lady much younger than me came in and told me that she was there to perform the ultrasound. She had me lay down on the table. She folded the gown back to expose my genitals and spread gel on the device. She proceeded to sweep all around the testicle, lifting it as necessary. When she was done, she gave me a towel to wipe the gel off and she left so I could get dressed. No abnormality was found and it still is occasionally tender, but I am ignoring it.

I think I've posted about this before. I had some pain in my right testicle, and ignored it with Tylenol for more than a week. It got to the point where it had swollen to the size of an orange, and I could barely walk. I went to see a doctor, and he immediately send me to a urologist. That was the scary part. He took one look, and said, "we're calling the urologist. Go directly there. You have an appointment in 20 minutes."

The urologist couldn't figure out what was going on, so he put me on an antibiotic and ordered an ultrasound.

The tech took me back. The changing rooms were across the hall from the procedure rooms. She showed me to a cubicle, and told me to take everything off from the waist down, and put on a gown. All of the gowns were enormous on me, because they mostly did pregnancy ultrasounds. She told me after I was changed to come across the hall, which I did. I sat on the table. She took a hand towel and folded it lengthwise twice, so it was a strip of towel about four inches wide and maybe two feet wide. She told me to lay down with my penis pointing up, put the towel across my penis to hold it in place, and then tuck it under me on the sides. She also gave me a sheet to cover up, and left the room.

I prepared myself, and when she came back in, she rolled up another towel and placed the rolled towel vertically between my legs under my balls. I think that was mostly to catch any gel that might leak down. She did the ultrasound, and was very professional about it. There was no pain beyond the pain I was already in, the gel was warm, and she let me watch on the screen as she did it.

At one point, she kept lingering and rechecking things, and then told me to hold on. She left the room and came back with another woman. This one was older and clearly more experienced. She took the wand and rechecked some parts. Then she told me I could clean myself up with the towels and get dressed. They both left the room at that point.

The urologist diagnosed it as an infection, but a later urologist said it was probably torsion. It could have been easily treated if I had gone in sooner, but I waited too long.

My doctor sent me for an ultrasound examination a couple of months ago, as I was starting to feel a throb/uncomfortable feeling in my left testicle. I don't think that my own GP looked or handled my testes then, but I would have been happy had he done so. He said he'd organise an examination for me at our local hospital, which he duly did. The examination was done by a very pleasant male doctor, with an assistant who was also in the room, recording on a computer what he found when checking my two testes. I asked to view the screen he was looking at, so he turned it around to enable me to see what he was seeing/recording.

My only 'problem' was the gel he put onto my two testes in order to facilitate examination was cold, but all in all, no problem.

Had one a couple months ago after some intense groin pain. When scan for kidney stone turned up null they ordered a testicular ultrasound to ensure no testicular torsion. It was a very pleasant experience. Ultrasound tech was cute middle aged female. She was unfazed by it. I was asked to hold the shaft out of the way while covering it with a towel then she put on the warm gel and did the scan. Nothing was found so the whole thing got explained / dismissed as tiny kidney stone I passed while in ER.

I’ve had two testicular ultrasounds.

First was in my early 20s to investigate a lump I found in my scrotum. I went in completely blind to the procedure and was at a teaching medical university at the time, which meant a women instructor was present as well as women students about my own age. It was highly erotic and the basis for my medical fetish.

The second was more recently due to some swelling. Young, cute technician, very professional. Thought about recording it, but chickened out.
