Should I Get Biopsy with PSA 9.2 & 35% Free PSA?
My psa level is 9.2 and free PSA is 35% should I go for biopsy
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 30th Nov '24
Anyways, whenever your PSA level reaches a total of 9.2, and your free PSA is equaled to 35%, it is certainly uneasy. This can also be because of prostate problems two of which may be inflammation or even cancer. It is often recommended that a biopsy is carried out to see whether indeed there are cancerous cells in the prostate or not. Some of the common symptoms of prostate problems include difficulty and passage of blood while passing out urine.

Should I undergo prostate operation for PSA 3.92?
I have prostate from past 5 years and recent PSA is 3.87 and I did it again after 1 week it is 3.92 Whether I should plan operation or not? What to do?
Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan
Oncologist
Answered on 9th Oct '24
A PSA level of 3.87 to 3.92 is a little high, but not too high. It's good that you are keeping an eye on it. Prostate enlargement is due to many reasons, but not all cases are treated with surgery. You should keep checking with your oncologist and follow the monitoring of your PSA levels to decide what is best for you.

Prostate Problem: PSA 12.4
sir i have prostate problem since 4 years last month i checked my PSA it has 12,4 then do MP MRI and Biopsy result Grad 3+3 = 6 then doctor advice to robotic operation.
Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan
Oncologist
Answered on 13th Aug '24
You may experience trouble when urinating. Blood presence in urine could occur. An elevated PSA reading, like 12.4, signals potential concerns. Your results of the MRI scan plus biopsy indicate Grade 6. This reflects moderate risk factor. Robotic surgery option exists to remove affected areas. Following doctor's recommendations closely is crucial for optimal outcome.

Your friend has prostate cancer and chemo. Trying weed gummies with CBD may not be safe. It could react badly with his medications. Before using new sleep aids, it's smart to talk to his oncologist first. The doctor knows better options that are safer and can help him sleep.

Is PSA Value of 0.88 at 57 Worrisome?
At age 57 is a PSA value result of 0.88 considered bad
Dr. Donald Babu
Oncologist
Answered on 21st June '24
Generally, when a person is 57 years old, a PSA level of 0.88 is considered normal. The abbreviation "PSA" stands for prostate-specific antigen. The prostate gland in men can become inflamed or enlarged at times. These can cause the PSA levels to rise. A PSA result of 0.88 is typically low, suggesting a lower chance of prostate problems. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination or pain, it is recommended that you seek further advice from a medical professional.

What does a PSA of .05 post-prostatectomy signify?
What does a psa of .05 mean six weeks after prostate removal mean
Dr. Sridhar Susheela
Oncologist
Answered on 18th June '24
A PSA of 0.05 six weeks after the prostate has been removed - this is good. It is not uncommon during the recovery period following an operation that the PSA levels are quite low. This tells us that the prostate was removed. The PSA values regularly need to be measured to check that they are within the norm. Low PSA levels following the surgery are the ones that suggest the cancer has been successfully eliminated.

Could my grandfather's symptoms indicate advanced prostate cancer complications?
My grandfather has prostate cancer that has spread to many parts of his body, he has had difficulty eating, usually only drinking water or yogurt but now he can't even open his eyes, he has been on morphine for a while, the doctors think it is the kidney, he makes a weird noice from the throat when breathing
Dr. Donald Babu
Oncologist
Answered on 18th June '24
Aching in multiple parts of the body due to which eating and breathing are likely to be difficult for sheriffs is a condition caused by cancerous cells spreading to the prostate. The kidney also faces the same fate. The strange sound he makes while breathing comes from the throat problems caused by the cancer. He might be requiring additional care and support to ensure his well-being.
Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.

A PSA level of 5400 is very high. This means the cancer is spreading to other parts of the body. It may cause pain and make it hard for your dad to walk. Work with your dad's doctor to help manage his pain. An oncologist can give strong pain medicine. They can also suggest physical therapy to help your dad move better and feel more comfortable. This will help your dad get the best care possible.

Should I Get a PSMA Scan at 81?
we have to do pet psma scan for and male of age 81 years so all details regaridng it
Dr. Donald Babu
Oncologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Prostate-specific membrane antigen scan is used to evaluate prostate cancer by finding out if this cancer has metastasized. This kind of scan gives the doctors the ability to see if cancer has begun to spread. In elderly men, with examples such as an 81-year-old male, prostate cancer is quite common. Its symptoms may include painful urination or blood in urine. The scan can define the treatment approach best. It's harmless, and that's why it is recommended to gather enough information about malignancy to guide the patient's treatment.
