What Causes Frequent Urination And PSA Level Of 2?

Read detail answer below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have frequency of urination .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Are you diabetic?
2) Do you have urgency?
3) How is your urine stream?
4) Have you ever done ultrasound Scanning of abdomen to know whether you have enlarged prostate and what is the post void residual urine volume?
The drug Advil (Ibuprofen)is basically pain killer and has no effect on voiding of the bladder.It is a XXXXXXX that it gives relief to you.
Based on your symptoms that you have posted you seem to have Over Active Bladder(OAB) .However I would suggest you to consult your Urologist and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis
2) Uroflowmetry.
3) Urodynaemic study of bladder This will help to confirm OAB. Discontinue Myrebrtriq for 3-4 days before doing his test.
In the mean while continue taking Myrebrtriq (Mirabegron) that you are taking .
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.

1) No, I am not diabetic.
2) Yes, I do have sporadic urgency--this seems to vary; for example, it is worse in allergy season, and it seems worse after eating certain foods (spices) and drinking certain beverages (red wine), so I tend to avoid them. However, again, Advil seems to control the urgency when it occurs.
3) Urine stream varies--generally fairly strong, but if I have held it in for a long time, it tends to be slow.
4) Yes, I have had ultrasound, and my prostate is slightly enlarged but two different doctors have said it is not overly large based on my age. The ultrasound shows my bladder adequately empties after urinating; however, sometimes the bladder does fill up again (within an hour), necessitating another visit to the restroom.
One doctor has speculated that the Advil provide an anti-inflammatory effect, which relaxes my bladder and surrounding nerves and muscles. Given the fact that my triggers for frequent urination seem to be tension or irritation apparently caused by muscle aggravation or allergies, the Advil effect might make sense. Does it make sense to you? Another question for you: How would I know if this is something more serious than OAB? I sometimes worry that perhaps I have a serious prostate problem that is somehow being missed despite the digital exams and the low PSA. However, I want to avoid a biopsy unless it is deemed absolutely necessary. Please give me your guidance on this. Thank you.
No need to go for biopsy of prostate.

Hello
Thanks for feedback and follow up .
Urgency that you have is not due to any inflammation hence it is not acceptable that Advil helps to give relief .
As regards your doubt about prostate pathology would state that since your ultrasound Scan and Serum PSA are within normal range you do not need to think of Prostate Biopsy
Get your Urodynaemic Study and Cystometry study done to ascertain and confirm Over Active Bladder.(OAB).
In the mean while continue taking Darifenacin twice daily .(After doing these tests).
Thanks and Regards.
