Patient's question:
My brother has been having some issues with his prostate recently, so he wants to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to find out what's wrong. He's never had a detailed examination of this kind of problem before, and he's also quite shy about letting the doctor conduct a thorough check. He asked some people about the items included in health check-ups, but they didn't know. So, I wanted to ask you, what are the common check-up items for prostate health?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, a thorough examination of the prostate can include both surgical palpation and color Doppler ultrasound. Through surgical palpation, it is possible to preliminarily determine whether there is prostatic hyperplasia. Color Doppler ultrasound can clearly reveal the severity of fibrosis. Prostate diseases are common among men, and it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain a light and hygienic diet in daily life. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
