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?

Should you get a PSA test during a prostatitis flare up or should you wait for it to resolve? Flare ups typically last 3 to 4 months once a year.
