High PSA 19.5 with UTI

Hi, my husband recently had a UTI with an enlarged prostate, upo checking in hospital his PSA iwas 19.5 in September, we have been advised that this is normal with a UTI however I am reading people who have had UTI's the PSA has not been so elevated and the prostate is still enlarged, we are still awaiting his PSA to be checked again, is this normal?

  • Hi catsmi,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It would probably be best to talk this through with your husband's doctor as they will be best placed to advise, especially specifically to him and the current situation. Hopefully you will get an opportunity to do this at an appointment before too long.

    In the meantime, if you'd like to speak to one of our nurses, who may be able to offer some general information about this, you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5) - or alternatively post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum.

    Wishing you all the best,
