i’ve had bph for a long time. my prostate size was over 150 but then I had a minimumally invasive PAE surgery. That might have brought it down to under 100. I don’t know. the last check of my psa was about 12. but I might have been off my finasteride at the time. that’s what keeps my psa in mormal range. otherwise it would be way high.
In the first years I had a high psa numbers, I checked thoroughly for cancer but found nothing. concluded it was just bph.
cancer does not run in my family anywhere. so I’m not worried about it.
I’ve learned that the fda has approved some more minimmally invasive procedures as of 12/2025. one is a stent. they may not be approved for medicare but whenever they are approved, I’ll use those too.
BPH is annoying as hell but it’s not cancer so that’s in its favor.
