Scrotal Ultrasound in Houston
Non-Invasive Imaging for Men’s Health, Pain, and Fertility
Why a Scrotal Ultrasound May Be Needed
A scrotal ultrasound helps detect and diagnose many men’s health conditions. Your provider may recommend the procedure to evaluate:
- Testicular or scrotal pain
- Swelling or palpable mass
- Varicoceles (enlarged scrotal veins) that may affect fertility
- Hydrocele or spermatocele (fluid collections)
- Signs of infection, trauma, or torsion
- Abnormal Low testosterone
- Unexplained infertility or abnormal semen analysis
By visualizing structures inside the scrotum in real time, ultrasound helps determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and guides next steps for care.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A scrotal ultrasound is completely non-invasive and typically takes ~30 minutes to complete.
Here’s what you can expect:
- You will lie comfortably on an exam table while a trained technician applies a clear, water-based gel to the scrotal area.
- A small handheld transducer is gently moved over the skin to capture real-time images of the testicles, epididymis, and surrounding tissues.
- The procedure is painless, with no needles, injections, or radiation.
- Once complete, the images are reviewed by a board-certified urology provider who interprets the findings and discusses results with you promptly.
You can resume normal activities immediately after the exam — no downtime required.

What our patients says
Dr. Martinez and Dr. Williams are both exceptional. Their expertise and care truly make a difference!
I had great experience. The office is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. They answer any and all questions or concerns I had. The vasectomy was done very well. I felt like I was in good hands. If a vasectomy is right for you, I recommend the Y Factor. 5 stars.
Outstanding service. Dr. Williams is a genuine expert in his field. He and his staff were willing to go the extra mile to find the problem and perform an experience based data-driven analysis in order to craft a plan unique,, with my input, to help me solve it. Can’t recommend them enough!
The procedure was quick and painless. Glad I chose the Y Factor.
I thought I was proactive with my health, but all my male brothers, we need to think about our bottom elevator and keep up with the maintenance, this is where Dr. Williams come in. The "Y" Factor is very knowledgeable and utilizes the latest techniques and technology. Just make Dr. Williams and his organization a part of your whole-health body maintenance. Larry Felder

Why does The Y Factor specialize in men’s health?
The Y Factor was named for the Y-chromosome, the factor that determines male characteristics. Our facilities were created by men, for men, with the expertise of male urological health. Our team believes in finding the underlying source of men’s health problems so they can customize a specific treatment plan to improve current health issues along with one’s overall quality of life.
Are the treatments/surgeries at The Y Factor painful?
We take all precautions to ensure you are in as little pain as possible. Many of our patients have reported low pain levels, around 1-2 on a scale of 10.
Why is seeing a urologist so important to men’s health?
Too many men are dying in their 50s and 60s from urological disorders that could have been prevented in their 30s and 40s. Rapid advances and medical discoveries have been occurring in this field but are often concentrated in academic centers. Our specialists bring these advances to communities in which men live and work.
