Because of Prescan, I’m even more motivated to stay healthy.

I couldn't let it go

In August this year, Stephan began to experience bladder issues. "I started urinating much more frequently, sometimes three or four times a night. I went to the general practitioner, who tested my urine. The test showed that there was blood in my urine. In retrospect, this probably happened because I did the test after intense weight training, which can often result in blood in the urine. But at that moment, I was very shocked. The general practitioner then referred me to the hospital for an ultrasound of my bladder and kidneys. Fortunately, nothing was seen, and the examination by a urologist also revealed nothing unusual. That's, of course, positive, but at the same time, it kept occupying my mind, I couldn't let it go."
Stephan then decided to contact Prescan. "Why not just do such a preventive examination, if I can afford it?" In early September, Stephan went for a targeted MRI scan of his bladder.

In good hands

“The initial reception at Prescan was very pleasant. Everyone was very friendly and understanding, which I found very positive. Everything was explained to me step-by-step, which was very nice and also interesting. An MRI scan of my lower abdomen was taken, for which you have to lie in a tunnel that makes quite a bit of noise. I was given headphones with music to make the experience more pleasant. During the examination, they listened carefully to my story. I felt in good hands and therefore did not worry. From start to finish, I found my experience at Prescan very pleasant.”

After the examination, the radiologist went over the results with Stephan. “After five minutes, I was called in, and the radiologist's first words were: ‘I haven't found anything unusual.’ Then he showed him the MRI scan images. “I found it fascinating to gain insight into my own body in this way. The radiologist explained that the images were ‘a textbook example of how an MRI scan of the bladder should look.’ That was, of course, very nice to hear. I felt relieved, even though I actually expected the result. But this examination was a confirmation that I no longer needed to worry.”

‘I immediately noticed that I was thinking about fun things again’

Stephan felt especially relieved after his visit to Prescan: “I immediately noticed that I was thinking about fun things again and no longer had worries about my bladder in my mind. It was really a reassurance.”

Stephan speaks very highly of his experience with Prescan. “Although nothing unusual was found in my case, that is of course the best outcome. Everything was explained in detail and clearly, which gave a very trusted feeling. I would absolutely recommend Prescan to others.”

‘It's about your health, what could be more important?’

The visit to Prescan made a strong impression on Stephan. “This examination has made me more aware of my health. It has confirmed to me that I live healthily, and I am now even more motivated to stay healthy. I want to encourage people to consider this at least once in their lives, whether they are acting preventively or have concerns. It's about your health, what could be more important than that?”
