PSA Levels

Posts Tagged ‘Biopsy’

PSA test was high so a prostate biopsy was performed. How long after this biopsy should another PSA test be taken? Thanks.

I have read that drinking two quarts of water a day will lower PSA levels. Is this true, or just an old wives tale. I have opted against having a biopsy or any surgical procedure.
