Patient's question:
I am a truck driver. I heard that sitting for a long time can lead to prostate-related diseases, and I'm quite concerned about it. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. So, I'd like to ask, can an ultrasound check the prostate?Doctor's answer:
In the truck driver industry, many people indeed experience various problems with their prostate again. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and avoid prolonged sitting. Prostatitis can be detected through ultrasound, where uneven echoes of the prostate can be observed. However, this examination cannot serve as a diagnostic basis and still requires additional diagnoses based on the patient's symptoms, such as prostatic fluid tests.
