Reasonable idea: Your doctor's suggestion is reasonable. An ultrasound is less invasive than a biopsy and my show that you have an enlarged prostate that could explain the elevated PSA.

Hi doctors. I went to the urologist and he found a "bump" on my prostate. I am scheduled for biopsy. My PSA is 1.32 on March 13th of this year...does this PSA score work in favor or against a cancer diagnosis? I have BPH and frequent urination night?
