2. He will perform a focused objective examination, which may include exploration of the external genitalia, rectal exploration to assess the prostate, and palpation of the abdomen.
3. He will prescribe, if necessary, diagnostic tests such as urinalysis, blood tests, ultrasound, or other specific investigations.

Urologic ultrasound scans: noninvasive diagnostic tools

Ultrasound scans are noninvasive diagnostic tests that use ultrasound to visualize internal organs. In the field of urology, ultrasound scans are a valuable tool for assessing the structure and function of the urinary and reproductive systems. At Life Clinic, we offer different types of urologic ultrasound scans:

• Ultrasound of the urinary tract: allows visualization of the kidneys, ureters and bladder, detecting any tumor masses, stones or other abnormalities.
• Penile ultrasound: allows assessment of penile structure and diagnosis of conditions such as La Peyronie's disease or priapism.
• Testicular ultrasound: useful for detecting tumor masses, varicocele, hydrocele or other testicular pathologies.
• Transrectal ultrasound: allows visualization of the prostate and seminal vesicles, and is used to diagnose prostate cancer and other prostate diseases.

Urologic ultrasound scans are painless, quick and safe examinations that require no special preparation. Our urologists use state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment to ensure high-resolution images and accurate diagnosis.

Endoscopic diagnostics for diseases of the urethra and bladder: URETROCYSTOSCOPY OR CYSTOSCOPY

At Life Clinic, our urologist has a next-generation cystoscope with an Artificial Intelligence Module with a flexible probe to be able to visualize via a color monitor both the inside of the urethra and the bladder cavity for early detection of diseases such as polyps, infections, bladder stones, neoplasms and more.

Diagnosis of prostate cancer with BIOPSY

At Life Clinic, we have at our disposal two state-of-the-art ultrasound machines that allow us to perform via endocanal probes and fine needle guides multiple biopsies of the prostate. Tissue samples obtained in this way are then sent to the laboratory for histological analysis, allowing the diagnostic suspicion of prostate cancer to be diagnosed or confirmed.
