To review:
Whether the opinion given by Mr. Hassan’s wife regarding the examination of his prostate is correct or not, keeping in mind that Mr. Hassan is unable to empty his bladder while urinating.
Introduction:
The prostate gland is a male accessory organ that constitutes about 20 to 30 percent of the volume of semen. It consists of citrate, which is required for the synthesis of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) by sperm and also neutralizes the acidic environment created by the male and female secretions. With age, the prostate gland increases in size, this might tamper with the ability of the urinary bladder to completely excrete urine.

A 52-year-old male visits a local family medicine clinic. He has recently moved to the area and is looking for a new primary care physician. This is his first physical examination after turning 50. The physician suggests including a digital rectal examination and laboratory analysis of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to screen for prostate cancer. 1. Which factor other than cancer or UTI can cause elevations in PSA results? A). Presence of CA-125 antigen in addition to PSA B). Collection of specimen before prostate manipulation C). Enlarged or inflamed prostate gland 2. The benefits and harms of PSA testing have been studied, and the results are conflicting. Despite this controversy, which characteristic makes PSA an ideal antigen for tumor screening? A). The antigen is produced by the tumor and found in a fluid that can be easily tested. B). The antigen is found at clinically…arrow_forwardshortly explain these termsarrow_forward
