I've just had a bloodiest and the PSA reading is 44. I've never hadxa test before. I'm seeing the GPcnext week but wonder should I be worried?

Hello, mate.


I'm sorry that you appear to have prostate problems, but welcome to the forum.


PSA tests are only indicators, but usually high levels, indicate a higher chance of prostate cancer. Sometimes though, other non cancerous prostate conditions can cause high PSA levels.


Unfortunately, your PSA level is significantly high. For a 74 year old man, anything over 6.5 is deemed abnormal, so yours should be investigated further. Your GP will probably refer you to a urologist to do further tests.


My advice would be, try not to worry too much, and deal with one test at a time.


Please keep us updated. We will help you wherever we can.


Good luck.👍
