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.

Hi I went to the urologist because of frequent urination especially at night. I do not have BPH..my prostate is small and smooth. PSA is 1.33. Should I live with the frequent urination or take medication for it, and if so which medication is best?
I have extreme frequent urination especially at night, but the urination itself seems regular..no weakness to start, no weak stream, no pain, just extreme frequency especially at night. Could this possibly be elevated PSA or prostate cancer or BPH?
