Patient's question:
The total free prostate-specific antigen ratio is low at 0.114, while the other individual values are normal. There is no urinary tract infection. There is some fibrosis in the prostate, but it is not significant. Will I get cancer?Doctor's answer:
Prostate enlargement is very common, and the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is not high, making the possibility of cancer unlikely. Early-stage prostate cancer is asymptomatic. In advanced prostate cancer, symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia may reappear, such as frequent urination, urinary pain, thinning of the urine stream, and difficulty urinating, which may be related to the concurrent presence of benign prostatic hyperplasia. There are many treatment methods for the prostate, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the chosen treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
