My experience with prostate biopsy

As the incidence of prostate cancer gradually increases, prostate biopsy pathophysiological examination has become one of the common examination items. The cost of prostate biopsy includes: the cost of prostate puncture needle. The puncture device required for prostate puncture is disposable, so the cost is relatively high. There are also the costs of ultrasound guidance and pathophysiological examination. The cost is about 1,500 yuan. Since the charging standards of each region and each hospital outpatient clinic are different, the final cost should also refer to the charging standards of the local hospital outpatient clinic.

Targeted biopsy of the male prostate is the most reliable way to diagnose prostate cancer. If PSA screening, rectal examination and MRI examination suspect prostate cancer, a biopsy is required for diagnosis. Prostate puncture conditions: 1. Rectal examination reveals prostate nodules and all PSA values; 2. Ultrasound, CT or MRI show abnormal images and all PSA values; 3. PSA value>10ng/mL; 4. PSA4-10ng/mL, fPSA/tPSA is abnormal. Male prostate biopsy is an invasive examination. Before the operation, coagulation should be assessed, protective oral antibiotics should be taken for 3 days, and gastrointestinal preparation should be carried out.

The male prostate is one of the male urinary organs unique to men, and its main function is to metabolize semen and control urination. In clinical medicine, male prostate diseases mainly include prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Prostate puncture is one of the key ways to diagnose and treat this disease. When prostatitis is often complicated by prostate abscess, the prostate puncture drainage method can be used to extract concentrated fluid to treat prostate abscess.

When the male prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood is elevated, or prostate nodules are found through rectal examination, male prostate tissue can be obtained through prostate puncture and sent for pathological examination to diagnose prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer, so that prostate cancer can be discovered, diagnosed and treated early.
