Hello doctor,
I got my father's prostate antigen test results today. It was 10.59 ng/mL. I am worried if it shows the beginning of prostate cancer. But, there are no specific complaints. Sometimes, he has a delay in urinating and little pain on urinating, and puss is found in urine. Currently, he is taking medications for cholesterol.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
PSA (Prostate-specific antigen test) is prostate-specific but not cancer-specific, and it requires careful clinical evaluation. First, check digital rectal examination, and after exclusion of infection or prostatitis and treatment with antibiotics, repeat it. Then, I suggest an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) scan and biopsy if it is still high. At the moment, I suggest Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for 28 days and Tamsulosin 0.4 mg once before bed. Then repeat PSA (Prostate-specific antigen test) after a month then follow up with the results. If you have any more queries, please let me know.
Kind regards.
