In person exam: Unfortunately, evaluation of testicular abnormalities need to be assessed in person. The texture, thickness and mobility of the abnormality, as well as its proximity or connection to other structures will give the examining Dr much information and allow for an accurate diagnosis. This cannot be done adequately on a video exam. Typically imaging (ultrasound) is also done.
