April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.

Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting younger men, but the positive news is that it is highly treatable, particularly when it’s identified early. One of the reasons awareness campaigns exist is because many men simply don’t realise what symptoms to look for or assume changes will be painful if something is wrong.

In reality, many early signs can be subtle. Changes in size or shape, a feeling of heaviness, swelling, or a painless lump are all things that should be checked by a healthcare professional. Getting something looked at doesn’t mean something serious is wrong, but it can provide reassurance and, if needed, help ensure the right care happens quickly.

Ultrasound scans are often used to assess testicular symptoms because they provide detailed imaging of the area and can help clinicians understand what may be causing the change.

If something doesn’t feel quite right, it’s always worth having it checked.

We’re really pleased to welcome two fantastic additions to the Moray Ultrasound team.

Theo and Stephen have both joined us as MSK (musculoskeletal) sonographers, bringing a huge amount of experience and specialist knowledge with them. MSK ultrasound is a highly skilled area of imaging, and having clinicians with this level of expertise means our patients are in very safe hands.

They’ll be supporting patients with detailed ultrasound assessments of joints, muscles, tendons and soft tissue injuries, helping to provide clear answers and support the right treatment pathways.

We’re delighted to have them on board and look forward to introducing them properly over the coming weeks.

Testicular pain doesn’t always mean there’s a lump - in fact, there are several possible causes, and not all of them are serious.

Pain or discomfort in the testicles might be due to inflammation (epididymitis), fluid build-up (hydrocele), infection, or even torsion (a twisting of the testicle that requires urgent treatment).

A testicular ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way to assess what’s going on. It checks for blood flow, fluid, swelling, and soft tissue changes - giving valuable insight into what might be causing your symptoms.

If you’ve noticed a sharp pain, swelling, heaviness, or discomfort, don’t wait and wonder - booking a scan could help put your mind at ease.
📍 Reports are provided on the day and can be shared with your GP.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is particularly useful for assessing soft tissue structures such as tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.

Many ongoing aches and injuries don’t show up on an X-ray because they involve soft tissue rather than bone. An MSK scan can help:

• Clarify the cause of pain
• Identify tendon or ligament injury
• Assess joint inflammation
• Support more targeted treatment

It also allows dynamic assessment, meaning structures can be examined while moving. This can be especially helpful when symptoms only occur during certain activities.

Our MSK scanning service is delivered by specialist sonographers Theo and Stephen, who bring extensive experience in musculoskeletal imaging and work closely with patients to provide clear, detailed reports that can support physiotherapy, injections or further referral if needed.

You do not need a GP referral to book an MSK scan at Moray Ultrasound, and a detailed report can be shared with your GP or physiotherapist to guide next steps.

Many pelvic symptoms are normalised for years.

“Everyone gets bloated.”
“My periods have always been heavy.”
“It’s probably just hormonal.”

While some changes are part of life, persistent symptoms shouldn’t be ignored, especially if they are new, worsening, or interfering with daily life.

A pelvic ultrasound cannot diagnose every condition, but it can assess the structure of the uterus and ovaries and identify causes such as cysts, fibroids or abnormal thickening of the womb lining.

It can also provide reassurance when everything appears normal.

If you’re unsure whether your symptoms warrant a scan, you’re welcome to contact us to discuss your situation. You do not need a GP referral to book, and a report can always be shared with your GP if further input is needed.

Period pain is common, but there’s a difference between discomfort and pain that disrupts your life.

Cramps that respond to mild pain relief and settle after a day or two are typical for many women.

Pain that:
– stops you working or attending school
– wakes you at night
– requires regular strong pain relief
– causes pain during s*x
– is worsening over time
– or is accompanied by ongoing bloating

is worth discussing with your GP.

Conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts and fibroids can contribute to persistent symptoms. In some cases, ovarian cysts may be visible on ultrasound. Endometriosis cannot always be seen on a standard scan and cannot be diagnosed by ultrasound alone, but imaging can help identify structural changes that may support further investigation.

If symptoms are ongoing or affecting your quality of life, don’t feel you need to “just manage” them.

If you would prefer not to wait for imaging, Moray Ultrasound offers private pelvic scans without the need for a GP referral. A detailed report is always sent to your GP to support your ongoing care.

Did You Know?

Fizzy drinks and chewing gum can affect your scan.

They may seem harmless, but both can introduce excess air into your digestive system, making it harder for ultrasound waves to travel through and get a clear image of your organs.

That’s why we recommend avoiding fizzy drinks, chewing gum, and even smoking before certain scans, especially abdominal or upper abdominal scans.

Following your pre-scan prep (like fasting or filling your bladder) gives your sonographer the best chance of capturing accurate results.

What is an Endometrial Thickness Pelvic Scan?

An endometrial thickness scan is a pelvic ultrasound that measures and assesses the lining of the womb (the endometrium). The thickness and appearance of this lining can change throughout your cycle and at different stages of life, so understanding what’s normal for you is important.

This scan can help to:
• Investigate irregular, heavy or prolonged periods
• Assess post-menopausal bleeding
• Monitor the womb lining before or during fertility treatment, including IVF
• Check the endometrium in women taking HRT
• Provide reassurance if you’ve been experiencing pelvic symptoms

For post-menopausal women, measuring the endometrial thickness can help identify whether further medical assessment is needed. However, any post-menopausal bleeding should always be discussed with your GP in the first instance.

If you’re unsure whether this scan is appropriate for your symptoms or stage of life, we’re happy to talk it through and guide you.
