Hello, Don! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

PSA stands for prostate specific antigen, it's what's used to measure if you may have an infection, or prostate cancer. The biopsy will let the know which.

There may be some discomfort and bleeding, afterwards, that can occur with any biopsy.

Your urination issues will not likely change, as reported by the NIH.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Please advise me for what is the alternative to MRI scan for a prostate cancer diagnosis, since I can’t get this test? I have been injured by a small bullet in my head which caused extraction of the left eye; the small bullet was left close to my brain. I am 67 years old and recently my PSA test was slightly high (4.6ng/ml) with an abnormal DRE.
