Prostate cancer in early (potentially curable) stages generally has no symptoms. Therefore the American Urological Association recommends an annual PSA blood test and prostate examination for most men beginning at age 50. However if you are African-American or have a close family relative with prostate cancer, annual screening should begin at age 40. Call the office of Urology Associates of Lake County and schedule an appointment with Dr. Young to examine your prostate and measure your PSA.
