PSA Level?

I would wait 2-3 months to repeat the PSA; if it does not come (patient has agreed with plan) down, he may need a TRUS

Is my problem urgent?

I would try a topical antiinflammatory agent along with analgesics, warm sit baths; if no better in 5-7 days, she may need to see a surgeon

What does it mean if you test positive for leukocytes in your urine?

Probably non significant, especially if asymptomatic.

Pain with deep breath on right side below ribcage?

She needs a PE, radiological studies.
