Hello!. It all depends on the base line PSA and the rate of increase. It is my advice that you see a Urologist and also have a rectal exam- he/she will guide you after reviewing the numbers (PSA)

Good afternoon doctors. I asked the earlier PSA question. My PSA is 1.32. In mid 2020 it was 1.20. Urologist found a lump on my prostate during a digital examination. Since to me PSA seems within normal range, how likely is it I have prostate cancer?

Good evening doctors. Could elevated PSA in a 62 year-old adult male be caused by something other than prostate cancer? What else may cause it and how is it determined what is the cause?

Good afternoon doctors. My PSA was 1.32 in February of this year. I am getting new bloodwork and PSA will be checked. What number PSA should I use to see a urologist in order to ascertain or to minimize possibilty of prostate cancer?

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?
