A member asked:
D.o. said dre is not necessary since psa is .3 and i am under 50 (44). do you agree? or should i request it be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Agree: At age 44 with a PSA of 0.3, the chance of feeling a prostate cancer nodule or a hard lobe are almost zero. However,if it makes you feel better, ask him or her to do a rectal the next time you go. Relax.
