How pelvic ultrasound is done in men?

During manipulation, the diagnostician examines the pelvic organs of a man with a special abdominal ultrasound transducer that slides over the abdomen. This manipulation is performed only if the man’s bladder is full. When the first part of the transabdominal examination is completed, the specialist asks the patient to empty the bladder. In the second half of the ultrasound screening, the diagnostician estimates the amount of urine remaining in the bladder at the end of urination. Information on the volume of residual urine is significant for an accurate diagnosis.
The procedure of transabdominal examination lasts about 10-15 minutes and does not give the man any uncomfortable feelings.
