Prostate health is vital, especially for men over the age of 50. Our Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) offers a detailed and accurate assessment of the prostate gland, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and management of various prostate conditions.
The Transrectal Ultrasound Is Instrumental In:
- Prostate Size Evaluation: Accurately measure the size and volume of the prostate gland.
- Detecting Abnormalities: Identify tumors, cysts, or other irregularities within the prostate.
- Guiding Biopsies: Precisely locate suspicious areas to ensure accurate and effective biopsy procedures.
- Monitoring Prostate Cancer: Track the progress of prostate cancer treatment and detect any recurrence.
- Investigating Symptoms: Assess causes of symptoms such as difficulty urinating, blood in urine, or pelvic pain.
During the TRUS procedure, a small ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the rectum. This probe emits sound waves that create detailed images of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. The procedure is minimally invasive, generally well-tolerated, and provides real-time, high-resolution images.
Our skilled healthcare professionals will interpret the ultrasound images to give you a thorough understanding of your prostate health. Whether you are undergoing routine screening, experiencing symptoms, or require a follow-up on a previous condition, the Transrectal Ultrasound is a critical tool for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
