What tests should be done for prostate cancer? There are 4 tests to be done for prostate cancer

Male friends are no strangers to prostate cancer, which is a common male disease that harms the health of the prostate area. Once the disease occurs, the prostate is damaged, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination, which poses a serious threat to life. Examination is essential for prostate cancer patients. Men should master the examination measures for the disease. Here are four prostate cancer examination methods.

1. Blood test. Through careful blood health examination, we know that the serum prostate-specific antigen of patients is generally elevated. The PSA of a few patients may not be elevated and is prone to fluctuate within the normal range. If PSA determination and rectal digital examination are used in combination, the detection rate will be significantly improved, which will bring more help to the treatment.

2. B-ultrasound examination: after the examination, low-echo nodules were found in the prostate, but they should be differentiated from inflammation or stones.

3. Radionuclide bone scanning and careful examination can reveal the early signs of metastatic lesions.

4. CT and MRI examinations are very important and can show the patient's prostate morphological changes, tumors and metastasis. During CT enhanced scanning, the cancer lesions tend to show enhanced but not obvious low-density areas, the capsule is generally irregular, and the fat around the gland disappears significantly. After the patient's seminal vesicle is invaded, it is clearly found that the boundary of the seminal vesicle is particularly blurred, the bladder seminal vesicle angle disappears significantly or the seminal vesicle enlarges. Especially when the tumor invades the bladder or the organs around the prostate, the patient's pelvic CT can reflect the corresponding changes.

As a man, you should always pay attention to the health changes in the prostate area, have a thorough understanding of prostate cancer, and carefully understand the above examination methods. A careful examination can help you understand the patient's actual condition and thus the extent of prostate damage, which will bring more help to the treatment. While actively treating, you should rest more and pay attention to your own hygiene.
