Test of PSA
My father has Prostatomegaly grade 1 with 25.9gm prostrate and 64ml residual urine. Rest of the report is normal and doesn't signify any problems according to doctor. But our family physician has suggested him a PSA test. Is it necessary? He has no problem and rest of everything is also well. And why did he prescribe this test? If anyone can let me know that would be great.
