HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
BPH can be associated with high numbers of PSA but at a level of 50, the most common cause would be a malignant lesion (cancer).
The bph would have to very severe to cause this significant numbers, if this is the case for you then it may be bph.
I wish you the best with your results
