Brief Answer:
Time for biopsy
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
With your age of only 56 and increasing PSA I think it would be in your best interest to have prostate biopsies. If this were normal BPH, the numbers would not be increasing at this rate.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if your have any additional questions
