How BPH is Diagnosed?

Dr Brown will take a detailed history and perform a physical examination, including a digital rectal examination to assess prostate size and firmness. Depending on your symptoms, further tests may include: Urinary flow rate and post-void residual bladder scan to measure how well your bladder empties; PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test to rule out prostate cancer; Urinalysis to check for infection or blood; Flexible cystoscopy to directly view the prostate and bladder; Transrectal or transabdominal ultrasound to measure prostate volume. These investigations help Dr Brown build a precise picture of your prostate and bladder function, so the treatment recommendation is tailored to your anatomy and lifestyle rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
