Can a visit to the prostate distinguish between cancer and hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I recently haven't been feeling well physically. Can a visit to the urologist for the prostate distinguish between cancer and hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate examination cannot distinguish between cancer and fibrosis. If there are symptoms such as difficulty urinating or incomplete urination, it is necessary to have a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate performed for a detailed examination to determine the type of disease, and then decide on an appropriate treatment method. If there is benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is necessary to use tamsulosin hydrochloride and Focalin capsules for treatment. If there is prostatic swelling, surgical treatment is required, and recovery can be completely restored after surgery. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
