Frequently asked questions
- What does an elevated PSA mean?
- It can reflect benign enlargement, inflammation, or cancer. A urologist interprets it with your exam and history before recommending next steps.
- Are kidney stones always treated with surgery?
- No — small stones often pass with fluids and time. Larger or obstructing stones may need a procedure.
