Is a biopsy only way to diagnose prostate cancer?

Have a fusion guided Biopsy using the MRI together with the standard ultrasound.

I wish that my biopsy had been sooner; aggressive grade of cancer that might have been better contained if dx earlier.

Biopsy not a major procedure at all.

Layperson response. Ask your Dr if PSA can be repeated in ? Months: 1, 3 or 6? See if PSA increases and velocity of increase is accelerating.

Note: Way outside my formal education. Listen to your Dr, or have a 2d opinion consult?

Did you have a transperineal or transrectal biopsy done? I have constipation problems and have read that increases your risk of infection with a transrectal biopsy. Doctor never confirmed that's true.

Thanks
