A Prostate Transrectal Colour Doppler Scan is a specialized ultrasound examination designed to assess the health and condition of the prostate gland. By utilizing advanced Doppler imaging technology, this scan provides detailed insights into blood flow and detects any abnormalities within the prostate, aiding in the early detection of conditions such as prostate enlargement, inflammation, or prostate cancer.

What is a Prostate Transrectal Colour Doppler Scan?

This procedure is a type of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) that uses a small probe inserted into the rectum to capture high-resolution images of the prostate. The Colour Doppler feature measures blood flow within and around the prostate, offering vital information on:

• Prostate size and shape
• Blood flow patterns, which can help detect abnormal growths
• Presence of prostate lesions or tumors
• Vascularization – assessing how much blood is reaching specific areas of the prostate

Why is a Prostate Transrectal Colour Doppler Scan Important?

This scan is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring a range of prostate conditions, including:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): An enlarged prostate causing urinary issues
• Prostatitis: Inflammation or infection of the prostate
• Prostate Cancer: Early detection through abnormal blood flow patterns
• Post-Treatment Monitoring: Ensures recovery after prostate surgery or treatment and checks for any residual issues

Who Should Consider a Prostate Transrectal Colour Doppler Scan?

This scan is recommended for men who:

• Experience symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, or difficulty starting/stopping urination
• Have elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels, which may suggest prostate problems
• Are undergoing prostate cancer screening or require ongoing monitoring
• Have a family history of prostate issues and want proactive screening

Benefits of a Prostate Transrectal Colour Doppler Scan

• Non-invasive: Unlike a biopsy, this scan is non-invasive and provides detailed information
• High Accuracy: The Colour Doppler feature offers precise insights into blood flow and potential abnormalities
• Early Detection: Identifies prostate issues at an early stage, facilitating prompt and effective treatment
