Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden increase in the PSA reading s suggestive of a malignant transformation. It is best to go for an exploratory surgery to find out the cause of such a rise.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Her pain may not be due to gastritis as it occurs only before menstruation and it may be due to premenstrual pain and gets relieved by taking smooth muscle relaxants with help of gynecs.
