Prostate Ultrasound – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Who should have a prostate ultrasound?

A prostate ultrasound may be recommended if you have urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, weak flow, frequent urination (especially at night), or blood in the urine or semen. It is also commonly used for men with elevated PSA levels, abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) findings, or to guide further investigations such as biopsies.

2. What is the difference between abdominal and transrectal prostate ultrasound?

Abdominal ultrasound: The probe is placed on the lower abdomen. It provides a general view of the prostate and bladder but with less detailed images.
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS): The probe is gently inserted into the rectum, giving a much closer and clearer view of the prostate. TRUS is often used for more accurate measurements, to assess abnormalities, or to guide prostate biopsies.

3. Can ultrasound detect prostate cancer?

Ultrasound can show abnormalities in the prostate such as enlargement, nodules, or areas that appear unusual. However, it cannot reliably confirm prostate cancer on its own. If suspicious areas are seen, a biopsy may be recommended for a definite diagnosis.

4. Do I need to prepare for the scan?

Preparation depends on the type of scan:
Abdominal scan: You may be asked to drink water beforehand so your bladder is partially full.

5. How long does it take and when will I get results?

A prostate ultrasound typically takes around 20 minutes. In most clinics, the results and report are available on the same day, often immediately after the scan. Your doctor will then discuss the findings with you and advise on any next steps.
