Hi all, just had a blood test earlier this week after feeling a little unwell. I'm just about to turn 53. My PSA came back as 24 and I'm waiting for a phone consultation with a urologist early next week. Should I be worried?
Hi Steven713,
I took I'll in Scotland last year and had to have a catheter fitted. My PSA at the time was over 400!! I didn't understand what it meant. After 6 months my catheter was removed and my PSA is now 4.8. My point is I am sure whatever treatment you are given will get it back under control.
Take care and stay safe
Hi Steve
Too early to say really, feeling unwell could be down to infection which can cause high PSa. Another PSa soon to check would be a good idea.
It's good that you will be speaking to a urologist for advice.
I would say another PSa and a MRI scan would tell u a lot more.
Try not to worry too much at this stage, come back when u know more
