We provide full support in the organization of the procedure, from finding a clinic to support at all stages of the examination. Our task is to simplify the diagnostic process and make it as comfortable as possible for the client.

Cooperation with EasyMed provides high-quality medical care and ensures that each client receives an individual approach and attention at all stages of the diagnostic process. This is critically important for the timely detection and treatment of prostate disease.

What does a prostate check show?

A prostate examination is a critical procedure for men’s health and involves several diagnostic methods. Diagnostic capabilities of these methods include:

Detection of signs of prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement), which can cause difficulty urinating.
Detection of inflammatory processes and infections of the prostate.
Early detection of prostate cancer, especially with elevated PSA values.
Prostate monitoring in men receiving treatment for prostate disease.

Regular prostate check-ups are recommended for men, especially after reaching a certain age, for timely diagnosis and prevention of possible diseases.

Indications for a prostate examination

A prostate exam involves a series of diagnostic procedures aimed at assessing the health of the prostate gland. These procedures are recommended for men in the following cases:

In the presence of symptoms that indicate prostate problems, such as difficulty or frequent urination, pelvic pain, and erectile dysfunction.
As part of a regular medical check-up for men over 50 years of age and for men at high risk of developing prostate cancer over 40 years of age.
If you have risk factors for prostate cancer, including family history, heredity, etc.
To monitor the condition of men who have previously been diagnosed with prostate disease.

Importantly! Before having a prostate check, a man should be provided with a complete medical history, including any previous medical conditions, current symptoms, and medications he is taking. A referral from your doctor will help determine the most appropriate tests, such as a PSA blood test or rectal digital exam. It will provide a more accurate assessment of the prostate condition, as well as planning follow-up treatment.

Preparation for the procedure

The main steps to prepare for a prostate check are:

It is recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse and ejaculation for 24-48 hours before the procedure, especially before a PSA blood test.
Strenuous exercise, cycling, and horseback riding should be avoided 24-48 hours before the examination.
It's important to notify your doctor of any medications you're taking, including prostate supplements, anticoagulants, and aspirin.
Inform your doctor about any medical conditions and medical procedures related to the prostate.
In some cases, your doctor may recommend an enema before your rectal exam.

Importantly! When making an appointment for a prostate check through EasyMed, the manager will provide full information about the preparation for the procedure, including detailed instructions and recommendations. This will help ensure the patient’s most accurate examination results and convenience.

How is a prostate check-up performed?

Initially, there is a consultation with a doctor, during which the patient talks about his symptoms and medical history.

Next, the doctor inserts a finger glove and a gel-lubricated finger into the patient’s rectum to palpate the prostate. This quick test helps assess prostate lumps’ size, consistency, and presence.

Next, the patient may be prescribed a blood test to measure PSA levels, which helps to detect signs of prostate cancer.

In some cases, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) may be performed to obtain images of the prostate.

A rectal exam takes only a few minutes. Blood tests and ultrasounds are also relatively quick procedures, each taking 15-30 minutes.

After completing all the check stages, the patient can leave the clinic. Test results should be ready within a few days.

A prostate examination is an important procedure for the early detection of prostate diseases, including cancer. Regular check-ups are recommended for men over the age of 50 or earlier for those who are at higher risk.

Contraindications to the procedure

When planning a prostate check, it is important to consider the following contraindications:

Acute inflammatory diseases of the rectum and urinary tract: Active infections may be exacerbated by manipulation during the examination.
Acute prostatitis phase: In this case, a rectal exam can be painful and exacerbate symptoms.
Recent prostate or pelvic surgery: It is necessary to allow time for full recovery after surgical interventions.
Exacerbation of hemorrhoids: A rectal exam can cause discomfort and increase symptoms.
Anal fissures or other damage to the rectum: This may complicate a rectal exam.

Importantly! When making an appointment for a prostate check through EasyMed, the manager will provide detailed information about contraindications. It’s always important to discuss all medical conditions and recent procedures with your doctor before scheduling a prostate check. In some cases, a consultation with a urologist may be required to determine the appropriateness and safety of the procedure.

Safety of the procedure

A prostate exam that includes a rectal digital exam (RCI), a PSA blood test, and an ultrasound scan is considered a safe procedure. We have identified the main aspects:

Rectal digital exam: Although it can be a little uncomfortable, the procedure is painless and has no serious risks.
PSA blood test: A standard blood draw that is usually safe and has minimal consequences, such as short-term dizziness or bruising.
Ultrasound: Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate is also safe and does not pose a serious risk to the patient.

The frequency of prostate screenings depends on the man’s age, general health, and family history of prostate cancer. It is usually recommended annually for men over the age of 50. Still, it may be prescribed earlier if there are risk factors.
