Hello,
I have gone through your query.

To start with, cause for the symptoms may be seen in many other conditions (Urinary tract infection,Kidney stones,Bladder stones,Bladder infection,Kidney infection),other than prostrate cancer.
Considering your age,its better to get the tests done for prostrate cancer as your doctor advised.

Most common tests done for confirmation of prostrate cancer are
-Ultrasound abdomen
-A blood test for Prostate specific antigen(a tumor marker specific for prostrate cancer)
-CT scan or MRI scan
Results are expected to be given the same day if the hospital is well equipped.

If you are diagnosed with prostrate cancer,
Treatment ranges from chemotherapy,radiotherapy and surgery depending on staging of the tumor.

Be expectant of normal results.visit your physician for the tests.
Hope my advise was helpful.
Kindly contact for any further concerns.
