Advanced prostate examination in Valencia
Why is it important to have regular prostate checkups?
The prostate is a small but vital gland in the male reproductive system that, over time, can be affected by various conditions that significantly impact quality of life. Among the most common conditions are benign prostatic hyperplasia (non-cancerous enlargement), prostate infections (prostatitis), and prostate cancer, which is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Regular checkups allow for the early detection of any abnormalities, facilitating more effective treatments and increasing the chances of a full recovery.
In addition, many prostate diseases may not present obvious symptoms in their early stages, so regular medical checkups are key to prevention and early diagnosis.
What does a complete prostate examination at Andrología Valencia involve?
At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive and personalized approach to prostate screening, supported by the latest medical technologies and the experience of our specialists. The screening includes several essential steps:
Detailed medical history:
We collect comprehensive information about your health status, family history, current symptoms, and risk factors such as smoking, diet, or history of infections.
Blood test for PSA
The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a marker found in the blood that can rise in the presence of various prostate conditions. Measuring PSA levels is a key diagnostic tool.
Additional tests
Based on the initial assessment, we can perform a transrectal ultrasound to visualize the prostate in greater detail or, if necessary, request advanced imaging tests such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), which provide an accurate image to rule out or confirm the presence of suspicious lesions.
When and how often should you have a prostate exam?
Prostate screening is especially recommended for men aged 45-50, the age at which the risk of prostate disease begins to increase. If you have a family history of prostate cancer or specific risk factors, it is best to start checkups earlier and have them done regularly.
It is also essential to see a specialist if you have symptoms such as difficulty urinating, feeling of incomplete emptying, pelvic pain, or bleeding, as these could indicate a prostate problem that requires urgent attention.
