The ultrasound is a piece of cake. They are very professional and make sure everything is very "covered up". Don't worry if it's a female. She's not gonna care one way or another - it's just a medical procedure. You should feel the same way.

If the ultrasound finds a tumor, an orchiectomy (removal of the testicle) will almost certainly follow. However, don't get ahead of yourself. It's much more likely to be something much less serious.Scott
