How Can PSA Level Be Kept Under Control?
My husband is 67 yrs old and has no trouble going to the bathroom -no blood in urine / stool - frequency is normal and without discomfort or pain. His PSA level is currently 5.4 and we ve been monitoring this for several years showing a slight increase annually. At there any oral medications he can take to lower his PSA? And/or is PSA level anything to be concerned about ? Thank you.
