Why Choose This Scan?: If you’ve noticed a lump, swelling, or discomfort in your groin area, the Groin Scan at UKSONO Healthcare provides a quick and thorough assessment to get to the bottom of it. Whether it’s a swollen lymph node, a hernia, or other concerns, our non-invasive ultrasound can help identify the issue, guiding you towards the right treatment or simply giving you peace of mind.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Lumps or Swelling: Detects the presence of lumps or masses in the groin area, which could be related to swollen lymph nodes, hernias, or other growths.
- Lymph Node Health: The scan helps assess the size and condition of the lymph nodes in the groin, which can become enlarged due to infection or other medical conditions.
- Hernias and Other Groin Structures: The scan also checks for signs of inguinal hernias, which are common in the groin area, as well as other soft tissue abnormalities.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Groin Scan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure, typically lasting 10-15 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Ultrasound Examination: The scan uses a high-frequency ultrasound to capture detailed images of the groin area. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin, and the ultrasound probe is gently moved over the area to obtain clear images of the underlying structures.
- Non-invasive and Comfortable: There are no needles or injections involved, and the procedure is entirely painless. If there are any lumps or areas of concern, the sonographer may apply gentle pressure to help visualize them more clearly.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: There’s no need for fasting or any special preparations before your Groin Scan. You can arrive as you are, and the scan will be performed with ease and comfort.
