Question: A sonogram has shown no blood flow to the testicles.
What are some of the options?
What are some of the options?
Brief Answer:
Testicles removal is the only option.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No blood flow to testicles means that the testicle is either dead or will be dead shortly. There is no specific treatment for this condition so it is impossible to restore the blood flow.
In such case, testicles removal will be the only option. Of course if there is completely no blood circulation in the testicles. Sometimes even if the major artery is blocked, blood can get to the testicles through some small arteries.
But this can be easily seen in the ultrasound.
Urologist is the correct address to consult.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
