Prostate ultrasound is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic procedure that is extremely useful in assessing men's health. At Vedi Clinic, we recommend this test, which allows a precise examination of the prostate - the gland responsible for the production of seminal fluid. Prostate ultrasound is irreplaceable in the detection and monitoring of various prostate diseases, including prostate cancer.
During an ultrasound examination of the prostate, a special device called an ultrasound probe is used, which emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves pass through and reflect off the prostate tissues, creating a real-time image. The probe is gently applied to the abdominal surface or inserted through the rectum, depending on the doctor's preference and the specifics of the examination. This image is transmitted to a monitor where the doctor can analyse it in detail.
An ultrasound examination of the prostate provides important diagnostic information about the condition of the prostate. It allows assessment of the size, shape, structure and any changes in the prostate tissue. Prostate ultrasound is particularly effective in detecting tumours, cysts, stones, inflammatory changes and other abnormalities that may affect the functioning of this organ. In addition, the examination can be used to monitor the progress of treatment and follow-up of patients with existing prostate conditions.
Prostate ultrasound is extremely useful in assessing men's health, especially when prostate conditions, including prostate cancer, are suspected. Early detection of prostate cancer increases the chances of successful treatment and improved prognosis. In addition, prostate ultrasound can be used as a monitoring tool for patients with already diagnosed prostate diseases, such as prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
