Description
The package includes laboratory testing of blood and urine problems caused by prostate dysfunction. The test is recommended for people over the age of 50, as well as for frequent urination and painful urination.
The prostate
The prostate is the thymus gland belonging to the male internal genitals. At birth it is quite small, however, at the age of 25, it develops into a chestnut-sized organ weighing 20 g. It is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra that starts from it. The smooth muscle of the prostate is responsible for urination (it contracts or puts pressure on the urethra), while the secretions it produces dilute the semen, helping the sperm to move.
Prostate enlargement
Prostate enlargement can be benign, but can also indicate a more serious disease. Benign prostatic hyperplasia affects one-third of men over the age of 50. Because the enlarged prostate puts constant pressure on the urethra, it causes persistent urination problems that also affect the kidneys. Urination problems that occur include frequent urination stimuli, pain, burning or stinging sensations, dripping, incontinence, or inability to urinate. Difficulty urinating is characteristic of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer.
Items tested in the prostate enlargement laboratory test:
- general urine + sediment test
- urine culture
- PSA
The result of a laboratory test alone is not yet sufficient to make a diagnosis. Depending on the results of the laboratory test, it is recommended to visit a urologist.
How to prepare for the examination?
It is not necessary to arrive for the blood sampling on an empty stomach. For urine tests, one sample of the first morning urine should be placed in a container of boric acid and another sample in a clean glass.
When will your results arrive?
After the 3rd workday after the sampling, and in the case of a positive urine culture result, after the 5th workday.
