I was able to get into a cancellation tomorrow morning, otherwise it was into Nov.
This is with a urologist, solid background from what I see. I will ask about the PSE test, but don’t mean to jump ahead to any conclusions.

What other things? Again, 1st visit, PSA at 20. Thanks.

Your doctor should do a digital rectal exam to see if he feels anything in your prostate. You can have an MRI, which finds well whether your prostate has anything in it that is problematic. This can all be done before you have a biopsy.

BPH can cause your PSA to rise as well as as a large prostate, Frequently that is caused by an infection and they will give you antibiotics to treat the infection and reduce the PSA as a result. Ask about this possibility. Are you aware of your Prostate size?
