Every Man Needs a Prostate Plan​®

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. While less common, low PSA producing Cancers can be very deadly and can only be found by DRE and possibly imaging.
  4. 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!
  5. If you have an elevated PSA or abnormal (suspicious) DRE, scroll down to learn more.
