A member asked:
Prostate (psa) level went up to a 5, can it be a enlarged prostate? i m 54 yrs. what to do?

Possible: However, as this PSA level is out of range it warrants further evaluation. Also depending on the change of the PSA from the previous level this could also just be normal prostate enlargement. Please follow your docs instructions.

Psa: It is a worrisome spike in PSA. It could be prostatitis, bph, or worst case cancer. Best to get a rectal exam from your PCP or a urologist
