What is a Transrectal Ultrasound?

A transrectal ultrasound is a medical procedure that uses sound waves to generate detailed images of the prostate gland and surrounding areas through the rectum.

Benefits of a Transrectal Ultrasound

Accurate Diagnosis: The transrectal ultrasound clearly visualizes the prostate and surrounding structures, facilitating the detection of conditions such as benign hyperplasia, prostatitis, or prostate cancer.
Non-invasive and Safe: This procedure is minimally invasive and does not use radiation, making it a safe option for patients of all ages.
Immediate Results: Transrectal ultrasound generally provides quick results, allowing doctors to make informed treatment decisions in a timely manner.
Assessment of Prostate Size and Shape: The exam measures the size and shape of the prostate, helping to identify any abnormalities that may require monitoring or treatment.
Complement to Other Studies: This type of ultrasound can complement other tests, such as blood tests, providing a comprehensive view of the patient’s prostate health.
