Your PSA level is fine. So you do not need to do anything about this. An annual physical exam and overall health check up is advisable. You are unlikely to have a problem with your prostate gland/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?
