Prostate test FAQs
During the digital rectal exam (DRE), a doctor inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the patient's rectum to feel for lumps, enlargements, or areas of hardness that might indicate prostate cancer. The procedure lasts for less than a minute and, while uncomfortable, should cause no pain.
The Prostate Specific Antigen test is a blood test for detecting prostate cancer. High PSA levels may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. Still, they may also be benign prostatic hyperplasia or inflammation of the prostate gland (also known as prostatitis) due to an infection or other cause.
PSA is a simple blood test. If positive and high, men may opt for biopsy, which is risky.
