Question:

Does anyone know ways to lower a males PSA levels regarding prostrate cancer?


Answers:

PSA (prostate specific antigen) is not something that you can lower. There can be false-positives, that is, the count can be incorrect, but a high PSA - over 4.0 - may be a sign of early stages of prostate cancer.

A person with either a high PSA or a sudden increase in PSA from the previous test should see a urologist ASAP. It may be necessary to biopsy the prostate to determine whether cancer cells are present.

Prostate cancer is not a "death sentence". If caught early and the cancer is fully contained in the prostate and has not migrated out of the prostate gland, a cure is possible. There are many new techniques and treatments that are available. In some cases, and especially with elderly men, the cancer is so slow growing that many urologists suggest no treatment at all. The saying is that you will probably die with prostate cancer, not from it. But, each case is different and competent, experienced urologists should be consulted in all cases.
