my urologist said psa wasn't in area of concern; went to second urologist and he first went to DRE and said; you have a tumor, let's do a biopsy. It was cancer. If not for DRE I would have gone undiagnosed for who knows how long. DRE is obviously very important.

Thanks for sharing that. I hope all the doctor said and future doctors reading your post see importance of doing DRE no matter how uncomfortable you or the patient may feel. Wish you all the best with your treatment.

+the study spot Thank you; I'd like to add...Doctors, trust your patients instincts. PCP snickered, Urologist blew it off...and in the end what I felt was accurate.

Hi glad you decided to have a second opinion. How old are you and whats your PSA was? thanks¡

[@daxion9416]

Did you got cured from the cancer?

[@alexfraser5644]

Wow lots of info there for a layman with rising PSA. 4.2 to 6.1 in 9 months. Had the PSA AND DRE couple of times. Followed by ultra . MRI and Biopsy. Prostate very smooth in both investigation but right lobe increased in size on second DRE. got tablets to check if an infection was present. Have to wait for 6 more weeks for another PSA check. General consensus is its BPH. Let's hope if Cancer appears it is remains with the prostate and does not do a Crocodile Dundee.(Go Walk About).

is That Collagen? or should be the epithelial? because according to the book I've read it is the epithelial that respond to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. The prostate is composed of Stroma (collagen and smooth muscle) and epithelial elements.

hello sir, this is a very informative video on BPH. my step father was also suffering from this condition. he visited many hospitals but didn't get good treatment. he has complaints of incomplete urine pass. he was very disturbed at that time. he didn't want any surgical treatment. finally, I came to know about planet Ayurveda and suggested him to go there. he visited there, they gave him a prostate care pack. now he is fine. thanks to planet Ayurveda.

I recently read that DHT is not the main cause of BHP. Is this correct?
