Does a high PSA mean cancer?
PSA informs prostate evaluation but cannot diagnose cancer alone. Enlargement, inflammation and cancer are distinct and cannot be separated by symptoms.
UROLOGY
Enlarged prostate & assessment
Weak stream, residual sensation & nocturia
Prostate changes may affect urine flow. Enlargement, inflammation and cancer are distinct and cannot be separated by symptoms alone. The official page describes acute prostatitis with fever and painful urination, and chronic prostatitis causing months of varied discomfort—prolonged sitting being one factor.
How it works
Urine tests, ultrasound and PSA when appropriate inform assessment. PSA alone does not diagnose cancer.
Visits & recovery
Treatment may include medication. Further investigations or surgery may require referral.
Risks & considerations
A full, painful bladder with inability to urinate needs urgent medical assessment.
Fees at a glance
Costs depend on symptoms, tests, treatment and insurance eligibility. Confirm coverage, self-pay services such as ED care, and testing-only charges. Bring insurance eligibility documents, medication records and screening results.
