Prostate Health
Supporting Prostate Health Through Evaluation and Early Detection
The prostate is a small gland that plays an important role in the male reproductive system. As men age, changes in the prostate can contribute to urinary symptoms or other health concerns. Routine evaluation can help identify prostate conditions early, giving you peace of mind and a better chance for effective management.
Prostate Evaluation & Testing
Depending on your age, symptoms, medical history, and individual risk factors, your provider may recommend testing such as a PSA blood test, digital rectal examination (DRE), imaging, or other diagnostic studies. These tests are simple and help ensure your prostate health is monitored effectively.
Prostate Biopsy
When additional evaluation is needed, a prostate biopsy may be recommended to collect small samples of prostate tissue for examination. Your urologist will discuss why a biopsy is being considered, how the procedure is performed, and what to expect.
If Prostate Cancer Is Diagnosed
If prostate cancer is detected, your provider will review the results with you and discuss appropriate next steps. When treatment outside the services offered by Brevard Urology Care is recommended, referrals can be coordinated with appropriate specialists for further management.
Evaluation and treatment recommendations are personalized based on each patient's health history, diagnostic findings, and care needs, ensuring you receive the most appropriate and respectful care for your situation.
