Cause in 53yo male of: psa 4.7, psa:free psa ratio 8.9%, mri shows bullish mass on prostate. urologist says all is ok. should i get a second opinion?

Yes: A second opinion should be easy - you have rhe MRI, and it will put your mind at ease. I am not SURE what the 1st doctor thought this is, but if they agree, then you won't have to worry. I hope it is all nothing and you get a clean bill of health and stay healthy
