What Does This PSA Test Result While Having Enlarged Prostate Indicate?

Thank you. Here are the results of my PSA test. My new PCP has referred me to a urologist. My new PCP did not do a rectal exam. I know I have an enlarged prostate for many years. Is this PSA reading something to worry about and do i need to go to a urologist at this time? Thank you. Lab Results.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your PSA levels are just above the borderline this might be due to the enlarged prostate that you had. Do you have any symptoms of enlarged prostate like hesitancy or frequent urination at night or sense of incomplete bladder evacuation?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
