Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): This examination provides information about both the diagnosis and the course of treatment. PSA is a protein produced by prostate gland cells. In cases with prostate cancer, the level of PSA in the blood may increase. The higher the blood PSA level, the higher the probability that the person will have prostate cancer. After the age of 40, every man should have a PSA examination once a year.

Uroflowmetry: It is a very valuable examination in which the urine flow is displayed graphically.

Ultrasonography: This examination is important in terms of showing the size of the prostate and residual urine remaining in the urinary bladder.

Cystoscopy: In cystoscopy, the urinary canal and the bladder are looked at with a lighted instrument inserted through the urethra. In addition to prostate enlargement, it also shows other pathologies such as strictures. It is checked whether there is a tumor in the bladder. In addition, with this procedure, a catheter can be placed and removed in the urinary tract (ureter) between the kidney and the bladder.

Stone Breaking (ESWL): Kidney stones that could only be removed by open surgery until recently, can be easily broken up with shock waves sent from outside the body on the stone, painlessly and without anesthesia, with the ESWL (lithotripsy breaking with external shock waves) device developed by modern technology. Moreover, at the end of the session, the patient can go home on foot and continue his daily life.
