Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate

The transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate is a high-precision imaging technique used to visualize the anatomical structures surrounding the prostate gland. It allows detection of small lesions and early-stage changesthat may not be visible through other imaging methods. This examination is recommended in the presence of urinary symptoms or sexual dysfunction.

The procedure enables evaluation of:

Prostate gland – size, shape, tissue structure

Subtle or early-stage lesions

Seminal vesicles – inflammation or abnormalities

Irregular prostate margins or signs of chronic prostatitis or BPH

Preparation for the examination:

A few hours prior to the exam, the rectum must be cleared to allow proper visualization. It is recommended to use:

A cleansing enema with 1.5 liters of cold water

Or rectal suppositories with a laxative effect

Wear loose-fitting clothing for comfort during the procedure.
