A member asked:

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?

Prostatitis can raise the PSA. It also is raised from infection or inflammation. A raised PSA should be evaluated by a urologist. It is not common for someone to have prostate cancer with a PSA of 1.32, see your urologist.

I previously answered your question. You have BPH and nodule was detected with rectal exam. Your PSA level argues against prostate cancer especially PSA level was above 1 in the previous year(s). Prostate bump (nodule) is not a pathognomotnc sign for prostate cancer.
