Diagnostic Tests For An Enlarged Prostate
Posted by admin
Generally, your urologist will start with common enlarged prostate tests like a rectal examination to feel the prostate enlargement, a urine test to make sure you have not developed symptoms akin to any other disease and a blood test in order to determine the PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels. If all these tests point towards the prostate enlargement, then he might conduct some other diagnostic enlarged prostate tests also.
Cystoscopy may be done by passing a lens into the urinary system to verify the presence of any abnormalities. Another test known as Intravenous pyelogram entails taking an X-ray image of the urinary tract to see if there are any tumors and blockages.
