Can MRI detect prostate cancer? The examination items must be selected according to the symptoms

Prostate cancer is a disease that is more common in men. Patients will experience symptoms such as hematuria, hematospermia, and impotence, and some patients will also have lower limb edema. Prostate cancer needs to be diagnosed in a timely manner and then actively treated to avoid further deterioration of the disease and improve the patient's cure rate. So, can MRI be used to detect prostate cancer?

1. MRI can check for prostate cancer and it will be helpful to determine whether there are abnormalities or tumors in the prostate area, but it cannot be used as a test item to confirm prostate cancer. If the patient wants to confirm his condition, he needs to undergo a digital rectal examination, blood test, B-ultrasound, etc. to know exactly what his condition is. The patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor's examination and try to choose a regular hospital for examination, so that the results of the examination will be more accurate. Usually, you should try to maintain a good attitude and avoid always losing your temper. It is also important to have a good living habit. You should keep the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and avoid staying up late at night.

2. Prostate cancer can generally be diagnosed early, and active treatment is required after the diagnosis. Generally, patients can be observed for a period of time. If any abnormalities are found, surgery and radiotherapy can be performed, which will achieve better treatment results. In addition, appropriate use of hormone therapy will also have a very good effect on the patient's body. You must pay attention to rest at ordinary times. The surgeries used now are basically minimally invasive surgeries, which have better treatment effects on patients and cause less harm. It is better for patients to follow the doctor's arrangements in everything. They cannot fail to receive treatment, nor can they give up halfway. It is best to persist in the treatment to the end.

When prostate cancer occurs, patients will also feel a lot of obvious discomfort. Only by going to the hospital to diagnose their condition as soon as possible and actively receiving treatment can they prevent their condition from becoming more serious. They also need to eat more softer foods and try to eat more easily digestible foods. It is also better to avoid overwork.
