See remark: What were your symptoms to have PSA? At your tender age no one expects prostate cancer.Did you have symptoms of frequency,burning,irritation to have the tests. To visit a urologist you must have had urinary complaints, warranting investigation I assume nothing positive was found ! They were LOOKING FOR CAUSE FOR YOUR COMPLAINT....

Here are some ...: Did you have recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI), or just have some recent or long change in how you urinate? Ordering PSA, semen culture, & KUB is to see if your prostate has infection-related inlammation or if you may have urinary stone since all documented UTI in men should always be considered as complicated UTI. So, she/he wants to see what may be the underlying reasons for your symptoms

Good afternoon doctors. I asked the earlier PSA question. My PSA is 1.32. In mid 2020 it was 1.20. Urologist found a lump on my prostate during a digital examination. Since to me PSA seems within normal range, how likely is it I have prostate cancer?
