Prostate massage with collection of secretions for examination
For revealing the causes of prostatitis development the prostate secretion is tested in the laboratory to see the signs of inflammation and infection. In order to receive biological material (secretion) for examination, prostate massage is performed.
The procedure is performed after a doctor's consultation.
During the procedure a doctor lubricates the index finger with a gel and inserts it into the rectum to stimulate the prostate by pressing and massaging its surface. As a result, the secretion of the prostate is released and sent for microscopic examination.
The prostate secretion sample is collected if it is necessary to identify the signs of inflammation, infection and other disorders, as well as to perform symptomatic treatment for congestive processes in the prostate, painful ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
The procedure is not performed if there are signs of severe inflammation and severe pain in the prostate with digital rectal investigation and hemorrhoids.
Preparation for the procedure necessitates cleansing the rectum from feces.
The procedure takes 2-3 minutes.
The cost of the service includes:
- procedure;
