Patient's question:
Doctor, I will go for a prostate examination in a while. Does the prostate examination require holding urine?Doctor's answer:
A prostate MRI examination requires you to retain urine. If the bladder is not full, the prostate will not be well visualized, which can affect the examination results. This examination method can only assess the size and appearance of the prostate. If you are undergoing a prostatic fluid examination, you generally do not need to retain urine. Most young people suffer from prostatitis, so it is recommended to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
