I need to go see my local urologist and have a scrotal ultrasound done. Last summer I had Micro-Denervation of the spermatic cord surgery done on the left side. A follow up ultrasound found a small hyperechoic area in the epididymis, so he wanted me to come back in the spring for a follow up ultrasound. In December I had Dr. Clavell install my implant. I just wanted to make sure a scrotal ultrasound is safe for my implant. I don't see how it wouldn't be but I thought I'd ask you guys. I'm sure a few of you have had an ultrasound done after implant surgery. Were there any issues?
I'm hoping this hyperechoic mass is gone and I no longer I have to worry about it.

Thanks -Cat

In all honesty I don't know if you'll find many folks who did in fact have an ultrasound done post implant. It seems a somewhat unique circumstance.

Conceptually I don't see what could be problematic but I'd address it with Clavell.

Hope it all turns out okay.

shoot Dr. Clavell a text, I'm sure you still have his number.

When he replies, let us know so when someone searches 'ultrasound' they'll find the answer you were looking for.

If it's an ultrasound imaging, there's nothing about that that could harm the implant.

If you're talking ultrasound treatment, the power level is much higher, and it warms the tissue.
I'd definitely want confirmation from your doc and the manufacturer before having that done.

Dr Hakky does a scrotal ultrasound as standard procedure a few days post implant to detect hematomas or any other surgical issues. There is no harm having a standard ultrasound done in that area.

Both Dr. Clavell and my local urologist said that scrotal ultrasounds do not harm implants. Thanks, everyone. -Cat

thanks for reporting back, good to know.
