It may cause more frequent urination, slower emptying or incomplete emptying. Your doctor should discuss objective measurements such as a PSA level with you.

With higher levels and an enlarged prostate, speciality evaluation may be encouraged to discuss risks and benefits of prostate biopsy to rule out malignancy. READ MORE
