What are the tests to diagnose prostate cancer

If prostate cancer is in the early stage, then the treatment is relatively easy. We can take surgical treatment and radiotherapy. If the disease has developed to the late stage, then we are often at a loss, which has caused tragedy for many families. At present, the incidence of this disease is particularly high, so we must pay attention to this disease in our daily life, and everyone must go to the hospital for regular check-ups. In this case, we must combine the patient's symptoms and then take some scientific examination methods.

What tests are needed to diagnose prostate cancer?

The first is to perform an ultrasound examination, which can help people effectively discover the shape of the prostate and can generally be used as an auxiliary judgment. If the capsule reflection is discontinuous and not smooth, and if there are light clusters or dark areas inside the hull, we must be suspicious and we must proceed to the next step of the examination.

The second is to perform a biopsy. Among all the examination methods, biopsy is the most reliable one. After the biopsy, we can finally determine the disease. The absolute diagnosis of prostate cancer mainly relies on microscopic examination. Before the local spread and distant metastasis occur, the patient's local nodules can be diagnosed by biopsy.

The third is to perform an X-ray examination, which is mainly for the patient's pelvic tissue and lumbar spine radiography, which can effectively determine whether the patient's condition has metastasized. Sometimes we can also perform vasoconstriction. If the cystourethrography shows that the normal prostate curve is lacking, it may be accompanied by urethral stiffness and stenosis.

Self-diagnosis of prostate cancer?

Patients may experience symptoms of pain, such as severe pain in the buttocks, waist, and pelvic tissues. When the pain occurs, even very strong men find it difficult to endure. In addition, patients often suffer from pain that affects their diet and spirit, and they suffer for a long time. Their overall condition is very poor, and they are often emaciated and weak, and some people also have anemia.

The above are the specific examination methods for diagnosing prostate cancer. First, we need to conduct an ultrasound examination, which is an auxiliary examination method. The most scientific and widely used clinical method is biopsy. After biopsy, we can finally diagnose the patient's condition. If it is indeed a malignant disease, then we can also diagnose the stage of the patient's disease. Then we need to take timely measures for treatment based on these examination results.
