Abdominal ultrasound can detect benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Prostate hyperplasia, difficulty urinating, post-micturition dripping, I saw a doctor a few days ago. Can abdominal ultrasound detect prostate hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

The detailed examination items for benign prostatic hyperplasia mainly include:
1. Color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system: To determine the degree of prostate enlargement and the degree of weakened bladder;
2. Urinalysis: Can be differentiated from diseases such as urinary tract infections;
3. Transrectal color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate: Can more intuitively observe the size of the prostate, the degree of weakened bladder, and whether there are nodules in the prostate;
4. Enhanced CT or enhanced MRI of the urinary system: Can be differentiated from prostate cancer;
5. Blood test: To check PSA, which can be differentiated from prostate cancer.
