Does Pain In Prostate Indicate Cancer?

My prostate hurts after I eat. The bigger meal I eat the more the pain. I have taken Cipro for a month but did not help. In fact my PSA went from 4.45 to 4.65 after taking the Cipro. Do you think this might be cancer? I have a consult to see a urologist but the Veterans hospital is very slow in getting appointments. I am 54 and have had a history of swollen prostate. But this time I am peeing just fine and frequency is fine also.

I can understand your concern.
You may have prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatic cancer. You should go for trans rectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis whether you have prostatic cancer or not. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
