Preparatory measures before taking a dog test in men

With pathologies of the prostate, to clarify the diagnosis, it is required to take an analysis for a dog. With this study, it is possible to recognize pathological processes in the prostate gland in men at the onset of the disease. The initial form of the inflammatory process of the prostate is asymptomatic. Prostatic specific antigen provides reliable information.

Before carrying out the procedure, preparation for the analysis of the dog is necessary.

When is it necessary to take a dog test

Inflammatory processes of the prostate gland are best treated at the initial stage of the disease. Men are too emotional about medical examinations, claiming that they are completely healthy. Delivery of the analysis is recommended for all representatives of the stronger sex after the age of majority (18 years) for the purpose of preventive examination. It is necessary to study the body for subjects of the inflammatory process and oncology. In the early stages, these diseases are quickly cured.

There are also some possible factors for the test:

• detected change in the size of the prostate after a routine examination by a urologist with palpation;
• diagnosis of prostate adenoma;
• for suspected inflammation or infection of the prostate;
• prostate cancer or suspicion of it;
• disturbing symptoms caused by prostate disease (increased urine output, burning sensation and pain when emptying urine, weakened stream, discomfort in the groin and lumbar spine);
• an inflammatory process in the urinary or reproductive system with a feeling of discomfort (due to hypothermia, an infectious disease transmitted through sexual intercourse);
• routine medical examination of male genital organs (every year);
• men, after 45 years of age to diagnose the condition of the prostate (age-related changes affect the ratio to the dog), which leads to the occurrence of various diseases;
• patients who have had cases of prostate cancer in their family (more often blood tests are recommended for the dog);
• to evaluate the effective treatment of prostate cancer or adenoma (after a course of treatment against malignant or benign neoplasms - the test should be taken in 60-90 days);

Carrying out medical procedures

Different therapeutic techniques with manipulations can affect the reliability of studies in different ways. Taking an analysis for a dog is recommended after some time after mechanical effects on the prostate. In the plasma, the content of the dog is constantly, but its amount changes due to the state of health of the man.

After a physical effect on the prostate (palpation), an increase in the bloodstream of the dog is possible for a while.

If the patient passed a biopsy, performed a transrectal ultrasound, transurethral resection, blood can be donated for analysis only after a few weeks, and sometimes it takes several months. Tests are carried out in a referral from a urologist, according to the results, an examination by an oncologist is possible.

Before taking the test, the doctor advises on how to donate blood for a dog correctly.

Self-preparation for the procedure

What should be the preparation for taking a dog's blood test? Donating blood for a dog does not require sophisticated preparations, but nevertheless, there are certain rules.

The correct diet helps to prepare for the test. Three days before taking the test, the use of carcinogenic and other substances that can affect not only the composition of the blood, but also other organs stops.

It is forbidden to use dubious foods: fast foods, fatty, fried foods, smoked and canned products. The ideal solution would be to take homemade food from meat, fish, cereal dishes, including fresh vegetables and fruits. You can not drink alcohol, even a weak one.

Sports training, hard physical labor are prohibited. In order to pass the general dog and get a reliable result, you cannot live sexually before the procedure, ride a bicycle, ride horses.

Before handing over a common dog, physical hard labor is excluded, both at work and at home.

Analysis of the dog and preparation for donating blood are due to the psycho-emotional state. You can't be nervous, worry. This increases pressure, nervousness, headaches and insomnia, which will definitely negatively affect the test results.

How the material is taken

How to prepare before the procedure itself? The analysis is given in the morning, since venous blood is taken on an empty stomach. Before taking the analysis, do not overcool and overheat. Due to temperature changes, the protective functions of the body are turned on. Before the laboratory, you should calm down by sitting in the room for a quarter of an hour. Heart rate and blood pressure should be normalized. The blood is drawn by an experienced technician by inserting a needle into a vein.

Clinical presentation

The analysis result is usually ready in a few business days. When receiving the results of the analysis, you should pay attention to the permissible level of the dog and the available according to the results of the research. This gives an overall picture of the amount of detected antigen in the plasma sample.

With an enlarged prostate, this indicator is very important. Based on the results of the analysis, the doctor prescribes further research and therapeutic therapy.

Sometimes the results show a slight increase in the dog (the so-called gray zone). This may be due to the occurrence of benign hyperplasia. In at least 75% of patients, in the case of a slight increase in the dog, this pathology is noted. If there is a place for such a decoding, then the specialized specialist prescribes a biopsy. A biopsy is done to confirm or deny the diagnosis.

With strongly overestimated norms of the dog, the specialist suspects the development of cancer in the active stage. The level of the dog can be overestimated in other pathological processes. For example, with prostatitis, which occurs very often even at a young age. Inflammatory processes and infectious diseases of the urinary or reproductive system are confirmed by an increased concentration of the dog antigen in plasma. Accurate diagnosis is carried out according to additionally prescribed studies.

If men are responsible for their health, then they will be able to avoid various serious pathologies, therefore it is very important to be regularly examined for inflammatory processes of the prostate gland, to be tested for a prostatic specific agent, especially when in the family, through the male line was someone with cancer, adenoma or prostate.

Timely diagnosis of pathological processes allows for effective treatment with the result of complete recovery. men's health of the genitourinary system should be protected from a young age.
