What kind of examinations are usually performed in men's medicine?

In recent years, male diseases have become more serious. Many men have to pay attention to their physical condition. Male friends who care about their health will choose to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. The emergence of male diseases has made many patients lose their manhood and destroyed the happiness of a family. The damage to the body and mind is also unspeakable. Therefore, once male diseases occur, everyone must have a proper understanding and actively carry out regular examinations and treatments. Let's take a closer look at the relevant male examination items and cost issues.

General examination for male diseases

Understand medical history and general physical examination

It is important to examine the size and texture of the testicles in the scrotum during male reproductive organ examination. Whether there is a lump in the epididymal cyst often means whether the epididymal cyst has ever been inflamed or tuberculous. A ring-shaped lump is likely to be a spermatocele that can prevent the patency of the epididymal duct. A round epididymal cyst with no sperm in the semen may be obstructive pulmonary emphysema and azoospermia.

Penile examination

Based on the history of trauma and some of the main manifestations, the diagnosis can usually be made appropriately, and special examinations are generally not required. Penile corpus cavernosum examination can reflect the location and level of penile corpus cavernosum damage.

Penis inspection

Men between the ages of 15 and 35 should have a testicular examination at least once every 2 to 3 years. Doctors may not automatically perform this examination, but if this or other items listed in this article are not included in the examination, you can request it on your own.

Prostate examination

Through rectal examination, the prostate gland can be felt on the anterior wall of the duodenum. The size, texture, and tenderness of the prostate gland can be used to determine if there is a problem with the prostate gland. If necessary, the prostate gland can be massaged to obtain fluid for examination. Normal seminal vesicles are often not palpable, but when they are enlarged due to inflammation, tender seminal vesicles can sometimes be felt on the upper end of the prostate gland.

Routine physical examination for male diseases:

1. Routine blood test: Routine blood test is one of the most basic tests in clinical medicine. Routine blood test items include blood cell count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration and total platelet count. Routine blood test uses a needle to collect blood from the finger or earlobe, and then drips it into a specially made measuring plate after dilution, and then measures the number of red blood cells under a microscope. The commonly used symbols in the routine blood test form are: RBC means blood cells, WBC means white blood cell count, Hb means hemoglobin concentration (hemoglobin), and PLT means platelets.

2. Urine test: Urine routine test is a basic test that cannot be ignored in clinical medicine. Many kidney diseases can show proteinuria or produce oxidative stress in the urine sediment in the early stage. Once abnormal urine is found, it is often the first condition of kidney function or urinary tract disease, and it is often the key case clue that shows the essence of the whole process of pathology. In recent years, many people have paid attention to the fact that doctors should do urine tests on patients themselves, which is a common diagnostic method that helps doctors discover chronic kidney diseases.

3. Semen test: Semen is the main component of semen and one of the seminal plasma components in semen, accounting for about 1/10 to 1/3 of the sperm density. 1/6 is about 0.5mL. In the process of male ejaculation, semen is one of the flow components of semen. The protein content in semen is very small, and it mainly contains high concentrations of zinc ions, acid phosphatase, proteinase, chemofibronectin, spermine, aliphatic active polypeptides, etc. Among them, proteinase and chemofibronectin have the function of promoting sperm liquefaction.

4. Routine semen examination: Routine semen examination is the general name for routine semen examination, which is one of the simple and popular chemical laboratory examination methods in urology, men's disease and reproductive department.

Treatment costs for male diseases:

The cost of treating male diseases cannot be generalized. Each hospital outpatient clinic has its own charging standards. Authoritative experts remind patients that it is best to choose a more reliable hospital outpatient clinic for treatment. Do not trust private clinics or unsafe hospitals for treatment to avoid being deceived and causing unnecessary inconvenience. The cost of the top three hospitals in my country is in accordance with the requirements of the health department and the statistics bureau, the cost is public, and the procedures are transparent.

Different conditions will of course have different treatment methods and extents, which will not only lead to different costs, but also different effects. Therefore, patients should choose the appropriate treatment plan based on their own conditions and consider the cost of the consultation from their own perspective. For example, if the patient's condition is serious and there are special circumstances, the adjustments made will be different and the price will also change accordingly.
