My PSA has slowly been rising (last result 11) and I'm wondering if I can head this off with rezum? Now 80.

@tootall10 hey there, what is your history? BPH? Biopsy? PSA of 11 could be caused by many things.

If you have a large prostate or BPH, it can cause your PSA to be high. Are you having problems peeing? If you had a PSA test, then the doctor you went to should have recommendations for what to do.
An MRI is usually the first thing to do to see if there’s anything in the prostate. You can have a digital rectal exam by an expert to see if they find something and then get an MRI to see if you need a biopsy.
Rezum It’s not a solution for a high PSA.
If you have prostate cancer, it can become quite painful if you just let it go. A PSA of 11 means that it is a little bit aggressive.
