Diagnosis

Cystoscopy enables a direct view of the inside of the urinary bladder and urethra in great detail using an optical scope.

A gloved finger is inserted into the rectum to feel the condition of the prostate that lies close to the rectal wall. The test is used to help estimate the size of the prostate.

A pathology test is a test that examines samples of your body’s tissues, including your blood, urine, faeces (poo), and samples obtained by biopsy.

Radiology, also known as diagnostic imaging, is a series of tests that take pictures or images of parts of the body. Examples include x-rays, MRI and ultrasound.

A prostate biopsy involves using thin needles to take small samples of tissue from the prostate. The tissue is then looked at under a microscope to check for cancer.
