Hello, how long does a prostate ultrasound usually take to get the results?

Doctor's answer:

Through color Doppler ultrasound to perform a thorough examination of the prostate, the results can be available after the examination is completed. This is usually possible to get the results at the same time. It is necessary to check the specific examination results to see if there are symptoms such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, fibrosis, or prostatic cysts and tumors. It is necessary to perform the examination promptly, and at the same time, determine whether surgery is needed based on the condition. If it cannot be confirmed, a prostate biopsy should be performed.
