I want to know what these each test mean and indicates
Hi, BPH is most common among males above age 50. It usually causes hyperplasia of the prostate which usually causes the prostate to enlarge. It thereby compresses the bladder above & then it leads to urinary retention. Due to urinary retention, the bladder fills quickly and causes frequent urination. There is a specific test for BPH known as PSA. Which is known as Prostate-specific antigen instead of doing those you can do this alone. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. R. Raveen
