Prostate Ultrasound Q&A

What is the prostate?

The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland located between your bladder and penis. It’s responsible for creating and releasing a special fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. 

Prostate-related health problems affect men of all ages, but they’re especially common as you get older. Some of the most common problems a prostate ultrasound detects include prostatitis, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), and prostate cancer.

What is a prostate ultrasound?

A prostate ultrasound is an imaging procedure that uses soundwaves to take 2D images of your prostate and the surrounding soft tissues. 

During a prostate ultrasound, your Orange Diagnostic Ultrasound, Inc. technologist gently runs a handheld tool, called a transducer, across the surface of your skin. The transducer emits soundwaves that bounce off your internal organs. A computer translates these soundwaves and converts them into digital images. This allows your technologist to view your prostate in real-time.

What is the process of undergoing a prostate ultrasound?

At Orange Diagnostic Ultrasound, Inc., we conduct prostate ultrasounds on-site in our office. Upon arrival at the facility, you lie down on an exam table on your back. 

Your technologist positions the transducer at different angles to get a comprehensive view of your prostate gland. During your ultrasound, your technologist looks for any suspicious lesions, growths, or enlargement. 

The process is quick and pain-free. Most men are in and out of their appointment within 30 minutes.

When will I get the results of my prostate ultrasound?

Following your prostate ultrasound, your Orange Diagnostic Ultrasound, Inc. technologist gives your results to the radiologist. The radiologist analyzes the images and prepares a comprehensive report. If it was a diagnostic study, the radiologist sends a signed report to your ordering physician, who goes over the results with you.
