Hi
5 years a go my hubby had PC investigations. He had a fairly low PSA of 2.5, but DRE had detected nodules on prostrate and he was also having a lot of problems with urine output. We saw a consultant had an ultrasound and MRI. We were told there was nothing of concern found and hubby continued with medication for an enlarged prostate (though they said not that large). He’s had a few PSA checks over the 5 years, but think he got missed a bit as we moved house twice to new areas.
Since February our new surgery has monitored his PSA more closely, though only in October was the GP concerned enough to refer to urology. He has continued to have problems with passing urine, mostly at night, but has had a lot of issues with aches and pains, some quite severe and also from how he describes, nerve pain. He’s saw consultant last Thursday, who thought the DRE was ok, but has requested MRI, because of PSA.These are PSA results Feb 22 : 5.5, April 4.3, Sept 5.6, Oct 6.9. I was wandering what you guys think of these PSA readings and his history. I just feel we’ve been too lapse over the last 5 years, having too much faith in the MRI and what we were told.The jump of 1.3 in a month really concerns me.
