Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. I have been treated for over a month, and the doctor said to go for a follow-up examination and then gave me a prescription for a color ultrasound, transrectal color ultrasound. Is it painful? Wow, is this thing going to be inserted? Just thinking about it is very painful. Besides this, can we check it carefully in another way?Doctor's answer:
Because of prostatitis, the doctor has asked you to undergo a rectal ultrasound examination. Routine ultrasound examinations indeed require inserting a probe into the rectum for the examination. But don't worry, although it involves entering the rectum, it is lubricated to ensure it is painless. Because the rectal ultrasound examination provides a clearer view. It is recommended that you cooperate with the doctor to complete the examination promptly, so that after diagnosis, symptomatic drug treatment can be administered to prevent delays in treatment.
