Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for a long time and have been taking antihypertensive medication. I also had kidney stones in the past. My health check-up last year was normal, but this year's check-up showed PSA 30.18. Is this very high? Could it be other conditions? What are the symptoms of a PSA level of 30.18 in the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered that it may be caused by prostate cancer. In this case, it is recommended that you must actively seek follow-up treatment at the hospital. Detailed physical examinations and auxiliary tests are necessary for a clear diagnosis and treatment. In some cases, a biopsy may be considered. Prostate cancer can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink alcohol.
