psa level

Welcome to the site.

Worring is a pretty subjective thing

But I would go and find the reason for the slightly high number. It could be nothing.

See a Urologist.

Read this article. It will give you the information on what questions to ask your doctor.

Before you present yourself to the tender mercies of a Urologist, I would first have your GP put you on a run of antibiotics for a week or two, wait a month and then re-test the PSA.. Avoid having sex, bike riding, horseback riding before the next test. If it comes down significantly (by half) then I would just keep an eye on it for a while. If it does NOT respond to the antibiotics, then YES, see the Uro and find out what is going on...In the unlikely event you do have PC, catching it early is the key to success when it comes to treatment....Did your GP do a DRE and was that normal?

See the urologist. 2.58 psa is high for a guy who is your age. That does not mean you have cancer, but worth checking out and monitoring pretty regularly.

I would recommend quickly getting in to see a urologist.  My husband had a PSA of 2.3 at age 44.  Routine physical, no symptoms.  Had heard the drill about normal being under 4, but my brother is a urologist and immediately told my husband that 2.3 was too high for a guy his age.  My husband had a rectal exam which showed a slightly enlarged prostate.  They ran another PSA and it was 2.6.  They scheduled him for a biopsy and it came back positive for PCa with a gleason of 6.  He was scheduled for a radical prostectetomy and had it removed.  Time from first PSA (June) to Radical Prostectetomy (October) was 4 months.    Post-surgery path report raised gleason to 7.  PSA dropped to 0.06 after surgery.  Rose to 0.11 3 months after surgery, then to 0.22 3 months after that.  Husband had salvage radiation Sept/Oct of 2010 (less than 1 year after surgery).  PSA dropped to 0.11 at 3 months after radiation (this past December).  Just took his PSA yesterday (9 months post radiation) and it is 0.1 (undetectible).  Now we just need it to stay down!

He is in otherwise great health, had no symptoms, had not even had a physical in many years prior to this diagnosis  The psa was the only indicator of a problem, and had we waited we would be an a very different situation. We still are not out of the woods, but at a minimum we have prolonged his life and quality of life.  He is only 46 right now.  We have 4 young children.  We are so glad we have been doing all that we can! 

Please get checked!

just an update, i had the biopseys done a week ago, i get the results tomm. i hope all is well. i cant stop thinking about it.

AcrcmrOO, you're doing the right thing. My PSA readings were of no help as they stayed steady over a one year period, highest being a 2.8. I also had an enlarged prostate that was over looked by my primary Doctor for that same one year period. Although I never experienced an urinary problems, I did develop a nagging pain in my lower back.
You'll read all kinds of things about a biopsy good, bad and on the fence. I can only speak for myself, but I found it one of the least painful procedures associated with PCa. I had one DRE where I swear the Doc was trying his hardest to push my prostate out of my body. My results caught me off guard. Feeling healthy and I'm fairly active, I was blind sided by a Gleason of 3+4=7 and 40% cancer on the right side!
My prostate had become so enlarged the surgeon informed me it has split!
Well, the rotten little sucker is gone now and I'm my to recovery and becoming a survivor.
Here's wishing you all the best, keep in mind that you are not alone..

You have been afforded the opportunity of time.

Some of us were not that fortunate.

Use your time wisely by understanding & researching PCa.
