Seems your PSA is going up and down. My PCP and urologist says the major issue of PSA is a steady rise in numbers over time.

Your present PSA is high. The normal level is below 4. But your urologist has examined you and diagnosed you with enlarged (very large) prostate glan. This could be BPH or from (the recent rise in PSA) the enlargement of prostate. But you are seeing a urologist so that is good and follow through on the recurring PSA tests.

Regarding feeling anything. Are you having any increase in urination? That would be a sign of BPH at least one of the signs. PC can or cannot cause pain. I had no pain at all. I also had a normal PSA with no symptoms at all including a normal size prostate. But had cancer.

A high PSA does not mean you have cancer nor does a normal PSA mean you don't (I am proof of that). Just keep monitoring your PSA. Not unusually to get jumps like this but your are going up and down not just up. Make sure you use the same lab for all your PSA test. Using different ones can cause very different numbers.

Not any severe abnormal symptoms, at night and day on average I go every 3
hours. No starting or stopping issues, thanks for responding to my post.
