What is PSA?\r\n<\/a><\/h3>\r\nPSA is a protein, found in blood, that is secreted by only the prostate gland. Contrary to popular belief, high PSA mostly does not make people sick. However, high PSA shows us, the doctors, that there is an extraordinary situation in the patient\u2019s prostate and that we need to examine it more closely. This extraordinary situation may result from infections or may be a symptom of malign diseases. The final diagnosis is only possible as a result of the pathological examination of the tissues taken from the prostate. In our daily practices, we benefit from PSA to diagnose as much prostate cancer as possible by performing as few prostate biopsies as possible.\r\n

What are the symptoms of prostate diseases?<\/a><\/h3>\r\nThe size of the prostate enlarges with age. Due to the enlargement of the prostate, the urinary canal (urethra) gets pinched and urinary complaints occur.\r\n\r\nThe complaints of prostate diseases are grouped under two headings. The first one is related to the storage function of the bladder (urinary bladder). These complaints result from the decrease in the urine storage function of the urinary bladder, and usually appear as frequent urination, burning during urination, frequent waking up at night for urination, urgent need to urinate, and urinary incontinence before reaching the toilet.\r\n

Who should have prostate control?<\/a><\/h3>\r\nIn our country, we recommend that healthy men over 50 with no risks for or complaints of prostate diseases should have prostate control once a year. In countries like the USA, where prostate cancer is common (especially in Afro-American men), this age limit is much lower.\r\n
