As I mentioned, your PSA doesn’t sound unusual with such a large prostate, but, a high PSA density (e.g., \(>0.2\) raises concern, below .15 is associated with a low risk of progression. .06 is quite low.
You should ask your doctor, whether your PSA density shows there really isn’t an issue And see what he is basing his desire to do a biopsy on. They do make a lot of money doing it. Then again there is a PIRADS 3 lesion involved.

In my experience most respected physicians do not make recommendations based on personal financial gain. Rather, they are guided by their clinical experience and understanding of the particulars of each case. Certainly concerns regarding a missed diagnosis may lead to a tendency to err on the side of caution.

My urologist wrote that mine was 94 cc.
How does an enlarged prostate affect prostate?
