Anyone ever had a scrotal ultrasound and care to share what happened and your impressions and advice?
I have done some googling but not a lot of practical stuff for a person going in.
Is it necessary/better to shave the scrotum?
Thanks for any advice/comments.

Re: scrotal ultrasound
Usally not a big deal. Cold jelly on scrotum and then they move the probe around over it. Can be a little embarassing depending on tech doing it. Mine was to evaluate fluid from hydroceles that was result of prostate removal. Was not necessary to shave.

Woodi,
Yes I had one of those like 10 years ago when Doc wanted to follow up on a hard nodule like spot on one testes (twas nothin -- benign).
Now the good thing about this procedure is you are no doubt going to be handled by some sweet young thing technician (or two).
So if you have some trimix or use pills you might want to use some to get a good chub (maybe time it so that it is waning chub and not a full rager of course -- no need to show off).
But the thing to know is that they won't have you all hanging out there in plain view just to get at your scrotum. They will have you all covered in a hostiptal gown and all they do is fetch your scrotum or just a ball thru a liitle slit in the hospital gown so Little Woodi won't even be showing. Even the two Bobs won't be showing much. But if you have some good chub that just cannot hide they'll be able to tell right away and might be impressed anyways...
Have fun preparing!
