Hello doctor: I have been suffering from prostate enlargement for 2 years, taking medicine continuously: Recently, I feel pain, a little burning in the lower abdomen around the pubic bone; frequent urination 4-5 times a night. I went for a prostate ultrasound examination of 30 grams; quantitative test results for total PSA 0.68 ng/mL (higher than 4.1 allowed); Free EPSA 0.28ng.mL.
Ask the doctor:
What is the cause of the burning pain? Where for treatment, what drugs should be used, what should be abstained...? The total PSA quantitative test result index gradually increased 0.68 ng/m high with pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urination at night, is prostate cancer? If there is a risk, which hospital does the doctor advise to go for early treatment? Ask your doctor for advice on treatment. Nguyen Van Lac (1958)

Hello uncle! Urinary symptoms as described by the uncle are considered inadequate treatment, usually symptoms will have to improve with appropriate treatment. If symptoms persist, the current treatment should be changed. Thus, you need to go to a hospital with a urology specialty to accurately diagnose and treat your current urinary symptoms.
The total PSA index in Vietnam is regulated as normal when it has a value between 0-4ng/ml, so if your result is 0.68ng/ml, it is still within the normal value, there is no doubt. suspected prostate cancer.
If you are still worried about lower abdominal pain, frequent urination at night, prostate cancer, you can go to a Urology specialist at a Vinmec Health System hospital to be consulted by a specialist doctor. inquire, examine and answer more.
