Would it be harmful to a woman having an intercourse to a prostate patient?

What is the procedure performed to assist in diagnosing cancer of the prostate?

The diagnosis of prostate cancer can be confirmed only by a biopsy. During a biopsy, a urologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of urinary and sex organs in men, and urinary organs in women) removes tissue samples, usually with a needle. This is generally done in the doctor's office with local anesthesia. Then a pathologist (a doctor who identifies diseases by studying tissues under a microscope) checks for cancer cells.A blood test called a PSA (prostate-specific Antigen) is used to measure the level of PSA in the blood.An elevated PSA level can indicate either an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. If PSA levels are high, a biopsy of the prostate can be done to confirm the presence of prostate cancer.
