A member asked:

Does prostate enlargement with presence of small cyst indicate bph or some underlying malignancy?

Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some ...: Small cysts inside the prostate as shown in US or CT are not uncommon but fortunately carries no significant clinical implication. And BPH is microscopic Dx and does not necessarily incite clinical concern such as cancer or voiding symptom. So, don't be overwhelmed; if any, ask your urologist for detailing.

53 yr. old Husband's PSA went from 5.3 to 1.9 after 1 month on Flomax. Free PSA test results not back yet. Does Flomax reduce PSA? Does PSA decrease mean BPH and cancer scare is over? His DRE was good - no nodules just slight enlarged prostate?
