What PSA Score sent you to a Urologist?

Posted by jayhall @jayhall, May 17, 2024

I get PSA blood work done every 6 months. Last year my PSA was 3.25 and six months later it had increased to 5.5. My PCP sent me to a Urologist. The Urologist confirmed that if you score 5 or about it's wise to get a biopsy etc, to rule out Cancer and develop a treatment plan for your PSA. I'm curious what PSA score sent you to a Urologist.

A PSA of 4.2 sent me to a urologist. It was also the fact that it doubled in on year. The urologist said to come back in one year. I decided to get a second opinion. This urologist was quite concerned because my PSA had doubled! A biopsy test was done. The results showed cancer in 6 of 12 samples. Ugh.
Every situation is unique. I hope it goes well for you.
