@kpg7121 What’s supposed to happen is that men are supposed to get their PSA tested annually before they have prostate cancer and well before there are symptoms.

This has been the recommendation for well over 30 years (see attached news article from 1992). But, men won’t request the test, and many wait until after they have symptoms.

@brianjarvis I'm 69 & I've been getting tested once a year for years. My PSA jumped from 3 to 4 in November 2025 which is when my primary referred me to a urologist.
