Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 52-year-old with a genetic father who died of prostate cancer. My PSA scores have ranged from as high as 3 to as low as 2 in the past couple of years. My most recent PSA test was about a month ago and showed a reading of 2. I have been experiencing pain in the scrotum area, which my doctor suspects are due to CPS without infection. I have found relief through pelvic exercises and Quercetin tablets. I had an MRI today and would not be able to see the doctor until later in the week. About a year ago, I also had a free PSA reading of 29. Could you please provide your opinion on my MRI and your findings?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concerns over the prostate, considering your age and the history of your father. I have examined the MRI images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) and the good news is that I find no suspicious lesions in them. So, the fluctuating PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels may very well be attributed to the inflammation or some old infection. I can see that your MRI report very meticulously mentions even subtle findings like artifacts, so you can rest assured that you are in good condition so far. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
Thank you.
