Why a 6 month PSA test - Normal level - PSA velocity spiked
I am 51. I am in great health and am on no medication. I have no health issues and my annual labs are always good. Last year I had my first PSA test and I registered an 0.8. This year I registered a 1.8. Based on this years result my Doctor now wants me to get a test in 6 months and not wait a year.
When I go on the internet the articles overwhelmingly say to ignore PSA velocity. Should I conatct my Doctor and ask him to schedule in 1 year and not 6 months. My insurance will only pay for a PSA every 12 months anyway...
