Every Man Needs a Prostate Plan®
- If you are having prostate problems, consider scheduling an appointment with a skilled and knowledgeable urologist to discuss a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test AND a digital rectal exam (DRE).
- An elevated PSA can be due to a growing prostate, a prostate infection, or prostate cancer. New tests and biomarkers can help get to the bottom of your prostate troubles.
- While less common, low PSA producing Cancers can be very deadly and can only be found by DRE and possibly imaging.
- Keep your primary care doctor in the loop. Trouble urinating or with erectile function can be signs or symptoms of diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease!
