Blood test?

Although prostate cancer would be uncommon in someone in their thirties, an abnormal exam may prompt a PSA blood test. This should always be interpreted by an experienced urologist READ MORE
Although prostate cancer would be uncommon in someone in their thirties, an abnormal exam may prompt a PSA blood test. This should always be interpreted by an experienced urologist as subtle changes in someone <50 years of age may not be appreciated by a PCP. If there was concern for a condition such as a UTI or prostatitis, then the PSA would be falsely elevated and therefore one should wait before rechecking. After an acute episode of prostatitis for instance, the PSA may not return to baseline for 4-6 weeks.

Prostate scare?

A nodule on the prostate can be indicative of prostate cancer, but very unlikely in a 21 year old. You can always see a urologist who can do an exam on you.

This is referred to as Peyronie's disease. You can visit a local urologist to discuss treatment options.
