My mri conclusion after a 5.2 psa states: the prostate peripheral zone appearing diffusely heterogenously-hypointense on t2 images along with a diffuse early enhancementin the PZ. This makes assessment for focal pathology difficult. PIRADS 3.

A small lesion in periurethral location at central gland apex measuring 7mm at 10 to 12 o'clock position.

This is a brand new diagnosis, i have no prostate symptoms or issues it was just a routine psa blood test that picked this up. Now concerned, can anyone help???? Btw the 7mm lesion was pirad 4 result

    What does your doctor say as it's his/her job to turn into pain English? I had no symptoms but had a PSA reading of 6.4 but after an MRI I was given a Biopsy, which found a cancer in a lump which is Gleeson grade 7. Needs action as its a moderate cancer, not aggressive.

    I would think you may need a biopsy too but never hesitate to ask questions!

    Good luck!

    This score just requires monitoring and not treatment- I’ve lived with a similar score without treatment for nearly 10 years. Now only getting checked yearly!

    Talk to Dr. What was your previous PSA? Looks like you have time. biopsy may be indicated. Get info before any treatment decisions are made.

    FYI most men don't have symptoms.
