PSA and Prostate Screening
PSA screening is a conversation about age, risk, family history, prior results, prostate size, urinary symptoms, and what a result would mean next.
Seek urgent care for inability to urinate, fever with pelvic pain, severe bone pain, or major bleeding.
What it is
PSA screening is a conversation about age, risk, family history, prior results, prostate size, urinary symptoms, and what a result would mean next.
Why it matters
Men often wait until a problem is disruptive. A structured first step can separate common issues from warning signs and help patients avoid guessing.
What can cause it
PSA can be influenced by prostate cancer, BPH, inflammation, infection, recent procedures, ejaculation, and other prostate factors.
Testing and evaluation
Evaluation may include risk review, PSA trend, exam context, repeat testing, imaging discussion, biopsy discussion, or surveillance planning.
Treatment and support options
Support can include shared decision-making, follow-up timing, specialist review, and clear explanation of what does and does not require immediate action.
What happens next at MWI
MWI starts with education and a contact-only request. Once scheduling and service availability are confirmed, clinical details move into the proper care channel.
