Many people may think that pelvic ultrasound is only for women. But in reality, men can and should also get pelvic ultrasounds to check for abnormalities in the prostate, bladder, and other organs in that area.

Not as Scary as You Think!

Mr. Suchart (pseudonym), 55 years old, said, “At first, I felt a bit shy, never having had this kind of exam before. But once I tried it, it wasn’t painful at all. I just lay still while the doctor moved the device over my abdomen. It was done in less than half an hour.”

Peace of Mind with the Results

Mr. Somchai (pseudonym), 48 years old, said, “I had problems with frequent urination at night, so I came for a checkup. The doctor found that my prostate was enlarged, so I received the right treatment. I feel much better now.”

Don’t Be Shy, Get Checked

Mr. Prasert (pseudonym), 62 years old, said, “Many men may be embarrassed to get this exam, but it’s really important for our health.”
