Question:
What exactly is a TRUS and biopsy?
medical procedure (male)
Answers:
TRUS stands for Transrectal Ultrasound of the Prostate, which is done with a probe through your rectum to obtain images of your prostate gland, probably to detect anomolies or cancer.
The biopsy, which in general means to remove a sample of cells for examination, is done with a "biopsy gun" which is like a needle attachment to the probe that can get some cells from the prostate gland.
