Vivaan Smith, a 58-year-old retired school...
Vivaan Smith, a 58-year-old retired school teacher, had been experiencing a frequent, urgent need to urinate, especially at night, disrupting his sleep. His family history included his father being treated for prostate cancer. After a digital rectal exam (DRE) revealed an enlarged prostate, his urologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate to get a detailed image, measure its size, and check for any suspicious areas that might require a biopsy. Vivaan was anxious but found the procedure, though uncomfortable, was brief and manageable with the local anesthetic gel. The recovery was straightforward with minor rectal soreness and light bleeding for a day. The emotional journey was one of significant fear, given his family history, but the USG results showed benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with no signs of cancer. The profound relief allowed him to focus on treating his BPH symptoms without the shadow of cancer fear.
