Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS)

Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) is an ultrasound-based imaging technique utilized for evaluation of selected male reproductive structures including the prostate, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, and terminal vas deferens.

TRUS may assist evaluation of congenital or acquired abnormalities associated with obstructive causes of male infertility, including selected cases of obstructive azoospermia.

Clinical evaluation in such situations may additionally include semen analysis, hormonal assessment, reproductive history, physical examination, and other laboratory investigations depending on the clinical condition.

Transrectal ultrasound is generally performed as an outpatient imaging procedure and may not require anesthesia in selected situations. A high-frequency endorectal ultrasound transducer is utilized for imaging assessment of pelvic reproductive structures.

TRUS imaging workflows may assist evaluation of abnormalities including cysts, calcifications, ductal dilatation, structural variations, ejaculatory duct obstruction, seminal vesicle abnormalities, and selected prostatic or reproductive tract findings where clinically indicated.

In selected cases, transrectal ultrasound may additionally assist image-guided procedures related to reproductive and urological evaluation.

TRUS forms part of broader male infertility assessment, reproductive imaging, and comprehensive male reproductive evaluation workflows in selected clinical situations at Krishna IVF.
