PSA numbers?
When getting a prostrate checked and they give the men the numbers of their count. What is considered good and what is considered a concern? My dads PSA number was a 5. My grandpas was a 7 and they had to implant the radiation seeds in him. I believe and average PSA count for men is a 4. I could be wrong tho. Anyone, with information would be appreciated. As, I have never heard of what the numbers mean. My dad just had biopsy done. I just need to know what PSA numbers mean? I posted this question in Mens Health and was shocked with no answers, since this is after all a male health question. So , I am reposting under something else. JUST TO TO GET SOMEONE WHO HAS OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD PROSTRATE CANCER. WHAT DO THE NUMBERS FOR THE PSA TEST THEY TAKE MEAN??????

If you have a psa of 5 or over, that is considered elevated and a biopsy is usually done then.
psa levels do increase with age, and do not necessarily mean that cancer is present.
My father is 64, pas was 5, has prostate cancer, completed radiation and will now have the radiation seeds implanted. Survival rate is very high if it is caught early.

PSA number 1 is best. i had no1.5 and they gave a biopsy and i had cancer. took radiation therapy and no.went down to 1.
the numbers are a indicator to cancer . the higher the number the higher the chance to have cancer

It's a PROSTATE....not prostrate.

Just look it up. Then you'll know for sure.
