PSA prostate test

As others have said and recent tv ads, if you suspect something get it checked out.
I had an uncle die of prostate cancer...never had it checked
In 2019 my lovely brother in law, (sisters husband) died of pancreatic cancer after he thought it was his usual kidney problems. By the time they found it he had 4 weeks to live.
Stay safe.
Yes the TV campaign should be a big help, although hearing people's experiences here was enough for me to see this through.
Obviously not at the cause of the problem yet - but ticking boxes and further tests will get to the bottom of the problem- no pun intended.
 
He prescribed saw palmemtto - already suggested in this thread by someone so thank you who ever you are 👍
That was me , my pleasure :D it definitely helps , I am however surprised he prescribed it, the consensus within the medical community is it is 'unproven' , however , it is widely used , you can buy a large 100 cap bag of branded high strength saw palmetto off Amazon for about £8, likely cheaper than prescription, one a day I take.
He also prescribed me some viagra 😎 which I'll try later this week.
Start yourself off on half a tab , break them in 2, I found Viagra to be a bit violent with the headache and cold like nasal effect.
Many people find that the 30 minute to 'launch' claims of Viagra to be a tad optimistic, certainly never worked like that on me, 3+ hours.
If you dont feel the effect after that , pop the other half, the effects should last around 24 hrs anyway.

The better ED drug is Cialis , or Tadalafil , side effects are milder, and effects can last 2-3 days.
There is also Levitra, very little side effects, but doesnt last very long.
He has given me another blood test for some things including testosterone, he was bald - I was jelous as another comment here was as I had a full head of hair in my 50s it was at the expense of my testosterone so it will be interesting to see.
There is little doubt that hereditary male baldness seems to come with higher test levels, there is also the hand test, google it.
If like me , youre still sporting the full head of hair into your 50 s , then its likely your test is generally low, doesnt mean your god like sexual powers of yesteryear are over , you just need a little help.
Doctors these days seem very reluctant to prescribe TRT , and to a lesser extent HRT for women , cost , seems to be the main issue.
The usual response seems to be 'Your hormones levels are normal' what this means is, your hormones are normal for your age, ie , they are low to non existent ! This is very 'unhelpful'
Many are self prescribing to get round this, but if you can get some out of your doctor, then all good.

I hope this helps , if you need more info , do ask , or PM if you prefer.
 
Well BINGO with the little blue pill last night 👍 what I thought WAS viagra turned out to be
Tadalafil.
Took half as suggested, hour later it was game on. Nice to see the old boy back to his former self.
No side effects to report, although really vivid dreams last night which I don't usually have 🤔 if that's the only side effect - I'll take that.
Then Saw Palmemtto though - like swallowing a suppository, they are so big its practically a meal for me 🍽
 
Dear colleagues, I have been dealing with an enlarged prostate since ages (i will be 80 next week). The specialist in plumbing and sex maintain that PSA by itself doesn't mean much. You need an unpleasant inspection and an echography to know the state and the volume of the part. Every now and then the doc hints about "scratching" it, i.e. doing a biopsy but he didn't prescribe .
I repeat, forget low PSA values and have the prostate inspected!
