Wait 12 hours before taking your next antibiotic. You may take Azo when on antibiotics but it may not be necessary. Discuss any concerns with your prescribing physician. READ MORE
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 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. For more information about PSA or other urological questions, please visit my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/DrRad. READ MORE
Prostate scare?

Discolored urine?
With possible blood in the urine, you should see your family physician who will do a urinalysis to determine if you have an infection or truly blood in the urine. Your PCP may then send you to a urologist to be evaluated if necessary. READ MORE
Men's PSA count?
Although there is no definitive cut off point for a PSA test, most labs report a value greater than 4.0 as abnormal. Ideally, a patient should have multiple PSAs over the course of several years to establish a baseline and identify concerning trends. It is best to discuss your PSA with an experienced urologist. You can find more information about PSA and prostate cancer on RadRoboticSurgery.com READ MORE
