Should men over 50 ask their doctor for a PSA test?

Absolutely. My good friend had PSA tests regularly & they were all ok. At a regular physical, he insisted that his Dr manually check his prostate. The Dr didn't like what he felt & scheduled a biopsy. He had prostate cancer between stage 3+4. He had surgery & is doing well now

So true my husband had it stage three and then he told my brother-in-law, but by the time he checked his PSA he had stage four and he just passed away a month ago hey you guys it’s a simple test. Just ask the doctor because sometimes they’re not paying attention But it’s your life anyhow I don’t usually say nothing. I just read everything. I’ve got stage 3CLL and skin cancer but you know what you can give out but don’t give up. I lost my mom at 49 and my grandmother at 51 and that’s many years ago and they come a long way with the chemo so everybody if you’re stressed I’m stressed right now h had mo surgery. For squamous cell cancer remember give out, but don’t give up. And chemo for the CLL, but I can’t give up and neither can you so whoever needs to hear this I hope it helps🙏🙏♥️♥️

Thank you for bringing up this important screening topic. The decision about PSA testing is a personal one that varies for each person based on their individual risk factors, family history, and overall health picture. Many medical organizations recommend that men have informed discussions with their healthcare providers about the potential benefits and limitations of PSA screening, typically starting around age 50 for average-risk individuals or earlier for those with higher risk factors. Having an open conversation with a trusted healthcare provider can help determine what screening approach makes the most sense for each person's unique situation.
