What Causes Enlarged Prostate And Rapid Weight Loss?

My husband has been losing weight very rapidly and has no energy ,lack of appetite and can t get a restful sleep ! Has enlarged prostate and has been having a brown color in his sperm ! We have had a lot of test run like blood work and everything has come back normal ! He has been on cholesterol medicine for about two months , but stopped it about two weeks ago . He takes uroxotrol for enlarged prostate and a low dose aspirin is all he takes on a regular routine . We don t know what else to do ! We have gone to his Urologist and his PSA is 4.9 . He doesn t seem to be concerned ! Please help us !!!!!

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

PSA antigen above the value of 4 is considered as a malignancy in the prostate and should be biopsied. Though your PSA is not much high but it should be rechecked after a period of month or so.

Brown discharge and every thing points towards the malignancy.

Biopsy report will diagnose the type of malignancy and it's extent. This will help us in the further management of the ptostste malignancy.

Prescribed medication are right and should be continued.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
