Prostate check-up at Andrología Barcelona: prevention and peace of mind

The prostate is a gland that changes with age. From the age of 45–50 onwards, it is advisable to have regular check-ups to detect possible changes early.

Many men postpone the check-up due to fear or lack of information, but the reality is that an early evaluation makes it possible to act with greater peace of mind and effectiveness.

At Andrología Barcelona – Teknon Medical Center, Dr. Xavier Bonet and Dr. Josep Maria Gili perform complete prostate check-ups with a clear and personalized approach.

The goal is simple: to detect any alteration in time and offer the best possible medical guidance.

What does a prostate check-up involve?

A prostate check-up is not a complex procedure. It consists of a medical evaluation aimed at understanding the condition of the prostate gland and ruling out common problems such as:

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia
• Prostatic inflammation
• PSA alterations
• Suspicion of tumoral pathology
• The check-up makes it possible to detect changes before significant symptoms appear.

When should a check-up be performed?

In general, it is recommended:

• From the age of 45–50 in the general population
• Earlier if there is a family history of prostate cancer
• If persistent urinary symptoms appear
• If there is an elevated PSA in a blood test
• Each case should be assessed individually.

What tests are performed at Teknon Barcelona?

The check-up begins with a clinical interview where medical history and urinary symptoms are analyzed.

Afterwards, the following may be performed:

• PSA blood test when indicated
• Prostate examination
• Prostate ultrasound
• Additional tests if the specialist considers them necessary
• Not all check-ups require all tests. The approach at Andrología Barcelona is always personalized.

Is it a painful or uncomfortable check-up?

One of the main barriers is fear.
