[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 151339, member: 18023"] No, I didn’t request nor did the urologist suggest those tests, I didn't have any symptoms associated with prostatitis so that makes it less likely (but not impossible) I would have had prostatitis I got a DRE from a urologist and asked him to estimate my prostate size. He said 50 cc. It would have been more accurate to have done an ultrasound, but it’s not like I was conducting research so I didn’t request that to be done. It could be the urologist was biased by his knowledge of the PSA level, and I wonder if your PSA level goes down does that mean your prostate shrank? I believe there are drugs / supplements that decrease your PSA without affecting prostate size. Such as NSAIDs and statins. It’s uncertain whether these drugs mask PSA levels or actually affect cancer/ BPH. The estimated PSA associated with prostate size is divided by 10, meaning 50 CC prostate size is likely to produce a PSA level of 5.0. My PSA level at the time was 4.2, so that is consistent with an enlarged prostate. I believe having a 50 CC prostate and prostatitis would likely produce a much higher PSA level. [/QUOTE]
