High PSA: Prostatitis or Prostate Cancer? | Mark Scholz, MD | PCRI

In this video, PCRI's Alex and Dr. Mark Scholz discuss prostatitis, that is, inflammation of the prostate. Prostatitis can be symptomatic or asymptomatic, transient or chronic, and it can confuse PSA screening for prostate cancer by inflating PSA results. Here, they discuss how it is identified, if and when it is treated, how it is treated, and how it can potentially confuse PSA testing. 0:07 What is prostatitis and how is it interpreted and treated? 2:05 What causes prostatitis? 3:53 How do you tell the difference between prostate cancer and prostatitis when you are tracking PSA, for example? 5:52 If a person's PSA is bouncing up and down from prostatitis, what is the range you would expect? In other words, how high can the PSA go from a prostatitis bump? 8:47 What are the treatments that are available for urinary function? Don’t know your stage?
