How much does not holding urine affect the results of a prostate ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Is it a result of not holding back urine? How much does not holding back urine affect the ultrasound results?

Doctor's answer:

Before a thorough examination of the prostate, clinical diagnosis recommends holding urine. Without holding urine, it is difficult for MRI to detect the prostate through the gas in the intestines. Holding urine is necessary to detect the prostate through a full bladder; an unfull bladder may lead to the omission of small lesions within the gland. It is still recommended to have a full bladder for necessary follow-up examinations, as this also allows for observation of inflammation in the bladder wall and cavity. In addition to timely treatment, prostate patients should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Only sufficient deep sleep can help you quickly recover from this condition. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
