Hi, thanks for sharing your father's health concerns with HCM!

Well, PSA, when high with diarrhea might suggest some serious condition like prostate cancer or severe prostatitis, especially if there is urinary retention also!

A TRUS is necessary for confirmation.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your father good health.
