Hello community, my story is:
I am 40 years old no history of UTI nor prostate problems.
Since May 18 2025 I had to go to emergency because of symptoms of UTI, I was prescribed 7days antibiotics . Got better but later in June had to come back again as i guess I infection was not cleared and ended up having epididymitis , bacteria was e.coli, after treatment felt better. But not 100% back to normal.
Went to see urologist did all the tests, ultrasound, CT scan with contrast , cystoscopy all good but with the cystoscopy it could be seem inflammation , urethratis, according to doctor residual from hard infection I had , a part of that all look good.
My PSA in May last year was 1.2, right after treatment for epididymitis was 10.6
I repeated it this week and was 1.6
To be sure as my symptoms persist but mild I had a MRI done. A well encapsulated nodule of about 2 cm was found in my 18 cm prostate in the transition zone. PIRAD was 3 with Likert 2 , adc of the nodule is 1.03. on the report it says everything bladder bone etc around is good and clear.
I will have a biopsy done , I was told I could wait 3 to 6 months to repeat MRI but I decided Biopsy as I am very concerned about having cancer.
Just wanted to know if someone has gone trough a similar problem or would know a bit more about this. I am very worried. Just looking for opinions or help.
I did rear that this nodules could be caused because of the epididymitis post healing process. I had blood rusty in the semen for few weeks in July but all good now. Looks back to normal.
Thank you for any help in advance
