Transrectal
Ultrasound and Prostate Biopsy is done to confirm whether you have prostate
cancer,
after the digital rectal exam and PSA test.
Procedure
During a transrectal ultrasound
(TRUS), the sensor of an ultrasound machine is placed into the rectum that produces
and detects sound waves that bounce off the prostate gland. The pattern of the
sound waves creates a picture of the prostate gland on the screen that can help
locate areas of abnormal tissue.
TRUS can also be used to help a doctor guide
a needle to the correct spot in the prostate gland for collecting a tissue sample
(biopsy). Usually 6-8 samples of different parts of the prostate are collected.
The tissue is then examined for cancer by a pathologist. After the biopsy, some
blood may be seen in the urine or stool for a day or two.
There is a possibility
of getting an infection in the prostate after the biopsy, usually antibiotics
are prescribed to prevent this.

Last here months back, I feel itchiness in my penis when intercourse with my wife. After one month I have seen rash in my penis head. First time it is itching but now it is silence.
What is the best solution for me?
It seems there was a bing hole in my right ear drum and I had a mild earing loss (conductive losses). As advised by the ENT Surgeon, I underwent CT scan too. He suggested me to undergo surgery by which my mastoid bone has to be open and all infection there has to be removed. I had the hole in the ear drum for the past 25 years and so far I had no problem except mild hearing loss. No ear discharge for the past 15 years. Even earlier also I used to have ear discharge very rarely. ENT surgeon suggested me to undergo the surgery what is called Mastoidectomy. I unable to take a call whether I should undergo surgery now or postpone to a time when I notice any further problem. I would like to know whether the problem gets aggravated if I do not undergo surgery. Whether it prevents further deterioation and improves the hearing? Kindly advise.
Ans:
hi babu, as u told that you have a hole in your ear drum, which is a connection between the external and the middle ear, thus making the middle ear prone to repeated infections. middle ear infections can become very severe when they become chronic which can also lead to permanent and conductive hearing loss. so it is advisable for you to not to wait and undergo mastoidectomy. gud luck.
