Any Suggestion For Psa Reading Of 0.02 With Prostate Cancer History?
Hello Doctor,
My dad was operated for prostate cancer two years ago and the recent psa reading is 0.02 (previous readings were 0.01). Is the higher psa this time a cause of concern.?
Also, recently, he has been facing burning sensation and difficulty in passing urine.
Please help

hi, in my opinion the new PSA is within normal limit. a minute change in it is not a matter of concern. the recent symptoms may be due to the ureteric stricture, the most probable cause. meet ur urologist he will do a retrograde cystourethrogram or a cystoscopy to find out the cause of obstruction.
