Transrectal ultrasound and biopsy.
In men, transrectal scans, where the probe is placed in the rectum, are done to check the prostate.
There is some discomfort, but less than most patients expect.
It depends who is doing the ultrasound. If it is the doctor then he/she will probably give you the result as the ultrasound is done. If it is a technician they will have to take photographs and write a report which goes to the doctor who will discuss it with you.

Calcification is when there is an accumulation of calcium salts and prostatic refers to the prostate. A CT scan or an ultrasound can be used for diagnosing the condition. Prostate calcification is a "scar" that remains after prostatitis gets cured. Early stage prostate calcification is a fibrosis of prostate. Common it is occur with no symptom. Such a fibrosis may occur in your body but you feel nothing about it. As prostate fibrosis develops, there would be calcification spots. One can try Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to cure this condition.
A small probe is placed in the rectum, and sound waves are released from the probe. These sound waves bounce off the prostate tissue and an image is created.
The cylinder-shaped ultrasound probe is gently placed in the rectum as the patient lies on his left side with the knees bent. The probe is rocked back and forth to obtain images of the entire prostate.
