For patients with prostate cancer, urine tests are very necessary and can help with the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Some patients can detect the presence of prostate cancer. In addition to urine tests, there are other examination methods as follows:

1. Ultrasound examination: Ultrasound examination can detect low-echo nodules inside the prostate and distinguish them from inflammation or stone diseases.

2. Radionuclide bone scan examination. After the examination, it can show the metastatic lesions at an early stage, which is more helpful for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

3. CT or MRI examination: After careful examination, it can show the changes in the prostate morphology of patients with prostate cancer and whether the tumor has metastasized.

4. Prostate puncture biopsy. This test can confirm prostate cancer. If the tumor tissue is not removed by puncture, the diagnosis cannot be denied.

Prostate cancer examination is very important. The final treatment measures can be determined through the examination results. Prostatectomy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy and other methods can be used according to the actual condition of the patient. During the treatment, the patient should not be tired, adjust his or her life rhythm, pay attention to the hygiene of the prostate area, and develop good hygiene habits.

For patients with serious and complicated conditions, in-depth examinations are needed to understand the damage to the prostate, which will help the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. After the onset of prostate disease, medical treatment should not be delayed. Early surgical treatment can relieve the patient's discomfort and prolong survival time.
