Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urologists are likely to do a DRE. To do this test, the doctor inserts their gloved finger into your rectum (back passage) to check for enlargement of the prostate gland, or other changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The normal PSA value is usually stated to be less than 4.0. However, because of the fact that benign enlargement of the prostate gland tends to occur as men get older, an age-adjusted scale has been developed: 0-2.5: Normal for a man 40-50 yrs. 2.5-3.5: Normal for a man 50-60 yrs.

Detailed explanation-3: -As prostate cancer affects one out of every six men, the American Cancer Society and other leading medical organizations recommend older men discuss having annual prostate cancer screenings with their primary care doctor to help detect the disease early. Early detection of the disease helps cure it in 90% of cases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Age 50 for men who are at average risk of prostate cancer and are expected to live at least 10 more years. Age 45 for men at high risk of developing prostate cancer. More items •24-Feb-2023
