What position do you need to be in for a prostate ultrasound where you have to take off your pants?

Patient's question:

Where do you need to go for a prostate ultrasound exam and take off your pants? Do you need to take off all your clothes? What should you pay attention to before the ultrasound?

Doctor's answer:

This situation usually doesn't require complete removal; the area that should be carefully checked is the lower abdomen. Currently, we don't fully understand the patient's specific condition. Common diseases of the prostate include prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia. In addition, it may be necessary to conduct a routine examination of prostatic fluid. Based on the examination results, consult your attending physician and follow medical advice for treatment.
