Excellent video as ever. But honestly I miss the videos from DMS instructors. They were my stop shop to abdominal ultrasound. Wish I could see them again.
How to differentiate additional testicle from epidydimis? The echogenicity seems similar and the rest of the epi (body, tail) may be difficult to visualize.
You should request a male technician and if one facility does not have a male there, then call around. Female techs should not be doing this test or the penile Doppler either. In a few of these videos, a female tech acknowledges that it’s embarrassing for the man, but that doesn’t stop them from expecting him to get on the table and expose his testicles as easy as opening your mouth for the dentist. Saying they do this exam all the time provides no comfort whatsoever. How would they like a male to do a trans-vaginal ultrasound or their mammogram? Same thing. They can do this exam while keeping you covered, and they know it.
You need to hire a lot more male sonographers to do these tests, although I'm sure you can find more ways to embarrass and humiliate your male patients.
