Man, at 53, my PSA is low (IIRC, a 1 or 2 at most), but I have this uncomfortable feeling that I don't empty my bladder completely when I go. My PCP is a woman, and she has never done a DRE of my prostate -she has said that she can't perform the test adequately on most male patients because she is a very tiny Asian woman, about 5'1", with proportionately tiny hands, and her finger isn't long enough (hope that's not TMI, guys!
). She refers all of her male patients with problems or concerns to a urologist. I haven't taken that leap yet, but I really should, since this issue isn't going away, it's been getting worse over the past few years. It's probably a sign of BPH. I guess I should just bite the bullet and get it over with.
