*Anesthesia
*Perform a DRE to the procedure to detect any nodularity.
*Insert the lubricated ultrasound probe slowly and with pressure to dilate the anal sphincter.
*Measure the prostate size.
**Measuring the prostate size is recommended prior to infiltration of local anaesthesia[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7354294/]

***Local anesthetic injection: 1% Lidocaine without epinephrine mixed with 8.4% sodium bicarbonate injected bilaterally into the perineal skin and peri-prostatic space to a depth of 10 mm as well as into the pelvic floor musculature, for a total of 20-30 cc[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34048827/]
