PSA test is
an effective screening test for prostrate
cancer. It involves testing a sample
of blood to measure the level of prostate-specific antigen in your blood. Prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) is a substance released into a man's blood by his prostate gland.
Higher levels of PSA than the normal level shows there is a problem.
Screening
is usually done for men older than age 50 or for those who have a family history
of prostate cancer. Other medical conditions like enlargement or inflammation
of prostate gland can also cause high PSA levels, therefore, further tests such
as a prostate biopsy are needed to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The
normal PSA level of each individual depends on your age and other factors.

Last here months back, I feel itchiness in my penis when intercourse with my wife. After one month I have seen rash in my penis head. First time it is itching but now it is silence.
What is the best solution for me?
It seems there was a bing hole in my right ear drum and I had a mild earing loss (conductive losses). As advised by the ENT Surgeon, I underwent CT scan too. He suggested me to undergo surgery by which my mastoid bone has to be open and all infection there has to be removed. I had the hole in the ear drum for the past 25 years and so far I had no problem except mild hearing loss. No ear discharge for the past 15 years. Even earlier also I used to have ear discharge very rarely. ENT surgeon suggested me to undergo the surgery what is called Mastoidectomy. I unable to take a call whether I should undergo surgery now or postpone to a time when I notice any further problem. I would like to know whether the problem gets aggravated if I do not undergo surgery. Whether it prevents further deterioation and improves the hearing? Kindly advise.
Ans:
hi babu, as u told that you have a hole in your ear drum, which is a connection between the external and the middle ear, thus making the middle ear prone to repeated infections. middle ear infections can become very severe when they become chronic which can also lead to permanent and conductive hearing loss. so it is advisable for you to not to wait and undergo mastoidectomy. gud luck.
