London Private Ultrasound is one of the UK’s most trusted clinics for private testicular ultrasound scans in London. Our service is designed for men over 18 who may have noticed a lump, swelling, pain, or any change in the testicles or scrotum. The scan is carried out by expert sonographers using advanced imaging equipment that produces high-quality images of the testes, epididymides, scrotal sac and blood supply.

A testicular ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive and highly reliable way of investigating a wide range of conditions. It plays a central role in the early detection of testicular cancer, providing detailed visualisation of tumours and helping to distinguish between benign and malignant changes. The technology is equally effective in identifying inflammation, infection, fluid-filled cysts, varicoceles and torsion, all of which can cause discomfort or affect fertility.

Our patients are given immediate feedback during the appointment and receive a same-day written report with images. This report can be taken to your GP, a urologist or another specialist if further treatment is required. We also provide advice on appropriate next steps, including additional scans or blood tests where clinically relevant. Many men choose to combine their testicular ultrasound with sexual health checks or fertility assessments, making it part of a broader approach to reproductive and general health. As a full diagnostic clinic, we can also provide additional services such as blood tests, abdominal and prostate scans, or comprehensive men’s health packages.
