Urological ultrasound is prescribed in the case when the patient goes to the doctor with certain complaints:

• violation of the processes of urination;
• the occurrence of pain when emptying the bladder;

When not to conduct research

The safety of the ultrasound technique limits the list of conditions under which it cannot be used. With regard to ultrasound in urology, contraindications are:

• in the presence of damage to the integrity of the skin or mucous membranes with which the ultrasonic sensor must come into contact (dermatological lesions, burns, inflammatory processes);
• after surgical interventions, both on the intestines and on the pelvic organs;
• transabdominal examination will be uninformative if the patient is obese;
• transrectal ultrasound cannot be performed with a pronounced lesion of the intestinal walls (hemorrhoids, non-healing cracks in the anus, fistulas, and others);
• the increased gas formation in the patient (flatulence) can complicate the diagnostic process.

Research methodology

When performing a transabdominal ultrasound, the patient must fill the bladder in advance (drink at least two glasses of water a couple of hours before the procedure). To obtain an image of the internal organs, a small amount of gel-conductor is first applied to the sensor and, gradually changing its position on the patient's abdominal wall, the organ is examined in various projections.
Before using the transrectal sensor, a condom is put on it and a small amount of gel is also applied. This eliminates the occurrence of any discomfort in the patient during the examination, including pain. You can get detailed information on how to prepare for the examination by signing up for a consultation with a urologist (SWAO).

Urology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study of diseases associated with the genitourinary system, the male reproductive system, and the adrenal glands. In order to timely identify diseases of the genitourinary system, it is necessary to conduct research, in medicine this procedure is called urological ultrasound. It is believed that ultrasound in andrology is one of the most effective research methods.

Description

Many urologists prefer ultrasound, believing that this is the best way to diagnose diseases at an early stage of development. The data that can be obtained during the examination is always sufficient to establish an accurate diagnosis. This is undoubtedly a plus, since you can avoid other costly and unpleasant procedures.

The main ultrasound technique is the use of ultrasound. The monitor screen displays a flat or three-dimensional image.

Indications for the procedure

Ultrasound of the pelvic organs is a comprehensive examination. At the time of examination of the bladder, it is necessary to check how much urine remains in the bladder after emptying. During the examination of the prostate, the structure of the lymph nodes and tissues is studied. In seminal vesicles, it is necessary to check whether spermatozoa have viability.

The main indications for ultrasound are as follows:

• The process of urination is disturbed.
• When emptying the bladder, a man feels severe pain. It may not always occur. Many people think that maybe it's a cold, and soon everything will pass. However, the longer no measures are taken, the more often and more the pain will bother.
• At night, the patient wakes up with a desire to go to the toilet, however, this is just a false signal.
• Together with urine, pus and blood are excreted. This is a rather alarming symptom, which in no case should be ignored.
• Erection does not occur. Increasingly, a man begins to face the fact that during intimacy he does not have an erection, or it is rather weak.
• Neoplasms were found in the pelvic organs.
• The genitourinary system of the man was injured. This can happen during training, or accidentally at home.
• Diagnosed with infertility. For a long time, a man cannot conceive a child, and all attempts end in disappointment.

Before the operation takes place, the man must undergo an ultrasound examination. After the operation, a study can also be carried out in order to evaluate the result of the operation, as well as to prevent possible complications in advance.

Since the study is safe, experts do not single out absolutely any contraindications. Only a few limitations can be identified, for example, if the skin on the area under study is injured.

What pathologies can be detected in the study

In fact, quite dangerous diseases and pathologies can develop in the pelvic organs in men. They do not always make themselves felt by some symptoms, they can only be detected with the help of ultrasound. During the study, the following pathologies and diseases can be detected:

• The presence of inflammatory or infectious processes.
• What is the problem with conceiving a child.
• Neoplasms.
• What causes kidney stones.

The main purpose of the study is to identify the causes of disruption of the pelvic organs. After the examination, the specialist will establish an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Conducting and preparing for transabdominal ultrasound

The ultrasound procedure is carried out with a special sensor that passes along the wall of the abdominal cavity. Thanks to ultrasonic waves, all data on the state of internal organs will be displayed on the monitor screen.

The study reveals the following problems:

• whether there are violations in the prostate, its size, shape and structure;
• the presence of pathologies of the bladder;
• whether there are formations in the genitourinary system.

The most important indicator is the volume of urine. In order to install it, you need to drink a lot of fluid, after the bladder is filled, it is checked by ultrasound. After that, the patient is asked to defecate, then the study is repeated.

Before performing urological ultrasound, it is necessary to prepare the patient. As mentioned above, the bladder must first be filled.

Important: you need to drink one to two liters of gas-free water!

Before proceeding with the procedure, it is necessary to eliminate the existing symptoms of gas formation. 2-4 days before the start of the examination, you need to change your diet, eliminating from the diet all foods that can cause gas formation. If necessary, you can take medications that will help get rid of excess gases.

At the time of the procedure, the patient should take a comfortable position on the couch, in a position with his back down. A gel is applied to the skin of the abdominal cavity, allowing ultrasound to penetrate into the tissues of the organs. After that, the specialist drives the sensor over the place where the gel was applied, slightly pressing.

The procedure is completely painless, it takes no more than 20 minutes to complete. After its completion, the identified indicators are entered into the research protocol, noting the norm or deviations. The document is given to the patient, after which the doctor who sent him for examination will decipher all the indicators. An ultrasound specialist urologist andrologist can make an accurate diagnosis.

What are the features of ultrasound with a rectal sensor

An ultrasound examination through the rectum is called transrectal. Recently, it has been used to examine the pelvic organs in men if there is no other examination available. So, for example, if a small formation cannot be detected, transrectal ultrasound is used during an abdominal examination.

If patients are not sure about the correctness of their diagnosis, they come back to the medical facility for this examination. In addition, it allows you to identify such pathologies as prostate adenoma or a violation in the functioning of the genital organs.

In order for a rectal examination to be performed correctly, the patient must be prepared. First of all, this refers to the release of the rectum from the contents in it. For this, the patient is given a special cleansing enema.

The procedure is mandatory, as fecal masses accumulated in the intestines can interfere with the examination.

A rectal urologic ultrasound may cause some discomfort and pain. The patient is in a supine position, on his side, his legs are bent at the knees. Before starting the study, the specialist examines the rectum by palpation. Then the sensor is lubricated with a special substance and inserted into the rectum.

Not a single disease should be left unattended, even if some symptoms seem harmless to you and do not cause any concern, you still need to visit a medical facility. The earlier this or that disease is detected, the less negative consequences will be in the end. In the direction of an andrologist, ultrasound can be done both in a regular clinic and in a private clinic.
