How To Rule Out The Chances Of Prostate Cancer Without Tests?

I am taking rapaflow for urgency and burning and it works......my psa this summer was a good number my urologist tells me and that I'm only 44 without history of prostate cancer......the rapaflo works for about 4 days, then I need it again.....how can I rule out prostate cancer for sure......again, my blood work was good this past summer, but the smptoms continue......he says the prostate cancer test is painful and invasive for a 44 year old man.....im just nervous that he will miss something.

If the anxiety is too much schedule for a multiple core needle biopsy test.
