About USG Prostate

A USG Prostate, or Transrectal Ultrasound of the Prostate, is a specialized, non-invasive diagnostic imaging procedure performed by a urologist. It involves inserting a small, lubricated ultrasound probe into the rectum to obtain high-resolution, real-time images of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and surrounding structures. This procedure is a cornerstone for evaluating prostate size, detecting abnormalities like tumors or cysts, and guiding precise biopsies when necessary. It is a safe, outpatient test that provides critical information for diagnosing conditions such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis, helping to formulate an effective treatment plan with minimal discomfort for the patient.
