Groin Ultrasound Scan

Diagnose Groin Pain, Lump, Hernias

An ultrasound scan can diagnose a lump in the groin and common causes of groin pain. A hernia is a common cause of pain in the groin and it may also present as a lump. Other causes of groin pain can be from the hip joint and surrounding muscles and tendons.

An Ultrasound scan is excellent at diagnosing the above and is often the first-line test for most patients.

What does the scan involve?

The doctor will use the ultrasound probe with a water-based jelly to examine the groin and assess the characteristics of any lump. The scan will produce images that the doctor will interpret and use to give a diagnosis. The procedure is not painful.

Due to COVID working practices, you can bring one person to accompany you in the scanning room.

There will also be a qualified chaperone present in the scan room along with the doctor.

How do I prepare?

Please dress appropriately to allow for easy access to the body part/joint being examined with ultrasound.
