What is an ultrasound scan of the testes and prostate?
An ultrasound scan is non-invasive and painless and is very important in the prevention of cancer of the testes, epididymides, scrotum and prostate. Factors predisposing to cancer of the testicles and prostate are mainly age, lifestyle (stimulants, poor diet, lack of physical activity), obesity and genetic background.

Practised approaches
Ultrasound scan
An ultrasound scan is an imaging diagnostic method allowing for non-damaging internal organ visualisation. It uses ultrasound waves, subsequently analysed by a computer, which produces an on-screen image with a detailed visualisation of the organ cross-section.

Preparation
for testing
Indications for a testicular ultrasound scan include:
- complaints of pain in the testicles and scrotum
- inflammatory conditions
- detection of nodules, thickening or other abnormalities on palpation
- enlarged scrotal organs
- infertility diagnostics
- urethral leakage
Indications for a prostate ultrasound scan include:
- pain in the lower abdomen and perineum
- greater need to urinate and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
- weak or intermittent urine stream
- inflammatory conditions of the prostate
- abnormalities in per rectum prostate testing
- an elevated PSA level on laboratory testing
- genetic predisposition
An ultrasound scan of the testicles does not require any special preparation. In the case of a prostate ultrasound scan, preparation depends on how the test is performed. When testing is done through the rectum, it is recommended that both the bladder and bowels are emptied. However, when testing is done through the abdominal wall, the bladder should be filled, so it is recommended to drink about 1-1.5 litres of fluids before seeing the physician.
An ultrasound scan of the testes and prostate does not require any other tests to be performed beforehand.

Opinions
How patients see us
I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.
Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Opinion by B. on Dr. Joanna Figuła (Znany Lekarz) |
Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.
We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

Opinion on Dr Ewa Posadzka Agnieszka L. (Znany Lekarz) |
The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.
Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Opinion on Dr Agnieszka Wolak Anna (Znany Lekarz) |
Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.
Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

Opinion on Dr. Rafał Baran (Znany Lekarz) |
I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Opinion on Dr. Joanna Figuła Katarzyna (Znany Lekarz) |
Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.
Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

Very matter-of-fact doctor; she informs you thoroughly about everything and explains everything comprehensively. She informed me of the treatment plan and was very kind, gentle and understanding.

Opinion on Dr Katarzyna Doroszewska (Znany Lekarz) |
We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
