Why prostate nodules can’t just be removed

Prostate nodules cannot be removed directly mainly because the nature of the nodule needs to be clarified first. Prostate nodules include benign nodules and malignant nodules. Benign nodules are usually not treated with surgery if they are small and have no obvious clinical symptoms. If the nodule is malignant, it is often necessary to take early surgical treatment, with postoperative radiotherapy. Imaging tests alone can not determine the benign or malignant nature of the nodule, not to mention direct surgical resection, you need to perform a prostate puncture biopsy, through pathological examination to determine the malignant nodule after surgical resection. When prostate nodules are found, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination and treatment after a clear diagnosis.
