Have had BPH for 10 yrs, since about age 44. PSA has always been
between 1 and 1.9. Started on flomax 6 months ago. PSA last week was
5.4. Waiting to talk to uro.

How common is slightly raised PSA when one has BPH? Wondering if he
will do a biopsy. Hx of protate ca maternal uncle.
Big prostate tends to mean high PSA. My PSA as my prostate grew from 35 gr
to 72 gr went from 5.2 to as high as 9.0
over ten years. In the last five years it varied between 7.5 and 9.0. Six
months post PVP it was 5.1
