Combined prostate cancer examination can help patients' condition

Prostate disease is a pain in the heart of men, and prostate cancer is something men avoid, as it can seriously harm the body. However, people generally do not check for prostate cancer early, which may cause them to miss the best time for treatment. Therefore, everyone should understand the examination methods for prostate cancer so that patients can receive treatment in time. Here are some examinations for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer tests include:

1. Transrectal ultrasound examination: The ultrasound probe is placed into the rectum like a digital rectal examination. This examination has an effect on increasing serum PSA. Therefore, it should be performed after blood is drawn. This type of prostate cancer examination is more common.

2. Rectal examination: Use the index finger to touch the prostate. If prostate nodules are found, it is suspected that there is a possibility of prostate cancer. Even if there are no symptoms, further prostate puncture biopsy should be performed for diagnosis. This is also one of the examination methods for prostate cancer.

3. Prostate cancer examination also includes serum PSA test: Under normal circumstances, the PSA in the blood is less than 4 micrograms/ml. It will increase when suffering from prostate cancer and other prostate diseases. This is currently the most sensitive indicator for screening prostate cancer.

The above is the examination of prostate cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as you know the above examination items for prostate cancer, you can let the patient receive treatment as soon as possible, and then you can effectively alleviate the condition. So please remember these prostate cancer examination methods, which will definitely help the patient's condition. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
