What tests are needed for male urology?

It is well known that men today are under great pressure in life. This has also led to many male friends experiencing frequent urination and difficulty urinating prematurely. This is a typical symptom of male urinary disease. Generally, after the symptoms similar to urinary tract infection appear, it is recommended to go to the male urology department for relevant examinations to confirm whether you have a urinary tract infection. The general examinations that male urology departments need to conduct are as follows:

1. Urine routine

Urinalysis is one of the three major routine medical examination items. Proteinuria or formed components in urine sediment can be seen in the early stages of urinary system lesions. It is of great value in diagnosing urinary tract inflammation.

2. Urine flow rate test

Measuring the amount of urine discharged from the urethra per unit time can reflect the general level of urine storage and urination function of the lower urinary tract. It is a basic item in the urodynamic examination of the lower urinary tract. It is often used to screen for urinary dysfunction.

3. Prostatic fluid examination

Routine examination of prostatic fluid generally refers to the appearance of the prostate and microscopic examination. The main purpose is to check for the presence of cells, the number of phospholipid bodies, trichomonas, sperm, tumor cells (staining examination is required), amyloid bodies, and the presence of bacteria.

4. Ultrasound examination

B-ultrasound is to send ultrasound waves to the human body, receive reflected waves from internal organs, and display the information on the screen. B-ultrasound is often used in men's medicine to observe the morphology of urogenital organs such as the prostate, which helps to judge the function of the organs.

5. X-ray and angiography examination

X-ray is one of the commonly used auxiliary examination methods in medicine. It can make the structure of the examined part clearly displayed on the X-ray film. Combined with contrast agent examination, it is helpful for the diagnosis of urinary stones, urinary tract stenosis, urinary system tumors and other diseases.

6. CT examination

It is the abbreviation of computerized X-ray tomography technology. The principle is the same as that of X-rays, but after the data is processed by an electronic computer, cross-sectional or three-dimensional images of the examined part of the human body can be taken to detect smaller lesions in the body.

The above are relatively common male urology examinations. If you have a urinary disease, you can be diagnosed through the above examinations. Once confirmed, it is hoped that the patient can actively receive treatment and have his or her sexual partner undergo relevant examinations to see if there is any cross infection so that the disease can be completely cured.
