Prostate Scan – £70
What Is This Scan For?: At UKSONO Healthcare, our Prostate Scan is a quick, non-invasive ultrasound that evaluates the health of your prostate gland. This scan helps detect any early signs of enlargement, inflammation, or other potential abnormalities. Whether you’re experiencing urinary issues or just want to stay proactive about your prostate health, this scan provides valuable insight with minimal disruption.
What Does This Scan Check?:
- Prostate Size: We check for signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can lead to urinary symptoms.
- Inflammation: The scan helps identify any signs of prostatitis (inflammation), which can cause discomfort, pain, or difficulty urinating.
- Abnormalities: We examine the prostate for other potential concerns, such as irregularities in shape or texture, which could indicate the need for further investigation.
What To Expect During the Scan: The Prostate Scan typically takes just 10-15 minutes. It’s conducted transabdominally, meaning the ultrasound probe is placed on the abdomen, with a small amount of gel applied to your skin for clearer images. You will be able to see your prostate on the screen as our specialist sonographer evaluates it for any abnormalities. The procedure is comfortable, non-invasive, and pain-free.
Preparation Required: To ensure the best possible images of your prostate, we recommend arriving with a full bladder. A full bladder helps push the prostate into a better position for clearer imaging, ensuring accurate results.
