Ultrasound of pelvic organs in males

Ultrasound examination of the testes allows our veterinarians to detect a hernia, tumor, torsion, epidermitis and other pathologies.

• Swollen scrotum.
• Trauma has occurred.
• One or both testicles are not descended into the scrotum.
• There is blood in the semen or urine.
• There is a painful reaction to palpation of the testes.
