Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency recently, and sometimes there is a stinging sensation during urination. Tomorrow happens to be my day off, so I plan to go to the hospital for a detailed prostate ultrasound examination. However, I don't know if I need to take off my pants for the prostate ultrasound. What part of the body does the prostate ultrasound mainly examine?Doctor's answer:
Prostate color Doppler ultrasound is a method of detecting the lower abdomen. Therefore, during the examination, the patient needs to remove their pants down to the lower abdominal area. There is no need to expose the reproductive organs. Additionally, if you experience frequent urination, urgency, and sometimes a stinging sensation during urination, these symptoms are related to prostatitis. It is recommended to combine a prostate fluid test for a more accurate diagnosis of prostate diseases.
