PSA Test Results and Your Impotence |
|
PSA or the prostate-specific antigen test is recommended for any man who has a medical history of prostate cancer or prostate issues such as enlargement. PSA or the prostate-specific antigen test is also recommended for men over the age of 50 on an annual basis along with the digital rectal exam to test for cancers or benign tumors. Men who use ED pumps or penis pumps sometimes have not been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction or impotence, and are using ED pumps or penis pumps as a home remedy. It is important to have professional diagnosis of ED, as there are many underlying conditions that contribute to ED. These complications include but are not limited to heart disease, cancers, medications, stress, atherosclerosis, uncontrolled blood pressure as well as enlarged prostate or other prostate issues. This is why it is so important to have a professional opinion about ED instead of guessing on your own. Men who use ED pumps or penis pumps should have the PSA test as a part of their diagnosis. PSA results are looked at along with the results of the digital rectal exam and your prior and current medical conditions. This will let doctors know if your PSA levels are high or low for you personally. PSA tests are not the only tool for diagnosing prostate issues or cancers, as there are certain things that can interfere with the PSA results. These include hormonal therapies and some medications, and PSA results will vary from lab to lab. Therefore if your PSA levels are too high or too low based on your doctor’s opinion, it may be required to have the PSA test run again through another lab. If you have questions about your PSA levels or the test itself, contact your physician for more information about what to expect. |
