What Does A Lump In The Prostate Indicate?
I had a PSA test, and it came back 11 after my doctor did a prostate examination and found a very small lump.
Now he wants to do a biopsy and im not wanting that.
I did research online later after the results came back, and it said not to ejaculate 48 hours before the exam
well, I did that 20 mins before my exam, and that made my PSA 11.
why do I need a biopsy?

Hello,
The high PSA with suspicious lump in prostate may indicate underlying abnormality in prostate in form of malignancy or else.
To confirm the pathology as non-malignant or malignant, prostate biopsy is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
