Patient's question:
Hello! Doctor, how does the hospital currently conduct a routine examination of the prostate? Is it through a careful examination of the urine, or some other method?Doctor's answer:
It is a prostate fluid test. Before collecting prostate fluid, the patient needs to abstain from ejaculation for 3 to 7 days. During the collection of prostate fluid, the patient first urinates, then adopts the knee-chest position, which means kneeling on the examination table with the buttocks raised. Alternatively, the patient can take the right lateral position, facing the doctor, with both legs bent, the left leg bent more. In severe cases, the patient can lie flat with slightly bent legs. When the doctor slowly inserts a finger into the prostate through the anus, the patient should breathe through the mouth and relax the anus to avoid interfering with the procedure. The prostate can cause significant discomfort to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. We hope that prostate patients can receive professional treatment.
