Prostate Health Screening in Knoxville, TN
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and digital rectal exams for prostate cancer screening.
What is Prostate Health Screening?
Prostate issues become more common as men age, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer. Symptoms can include frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak stream, blood in urine or semen, and pelvic pain. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and is highly treatable when detected early. Treatment options vary: BPH may be managed with medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors) or procedures, prostatitis requires antibiotics, and prostate cancer treatment ranges from active surveillance to surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy depending on stage and grade. Seeing a doctor is vital because prostate cancer often has no early symptoms, and regular PSA testing and digital rectal exams can detect it before it spreads. Your doctor will interpret PSA levels in context of your age and risk factors, perform necessary exams, and coordinate with urologists for further evaluation or treatment when needed.
