MRI will reveal Incarcinated or Strangulated Hernia

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you have been scheduled to undergo MRI as your PSA has increased to 7 which could be either due to infection of Prostate or Cancer of the prostate .

MRI is very sensitive test and can detect Incarcerated or Strangulate hernia .However occasional mild pain without vomiting and other alarming symptoms rule out possibility of these conditions.
