Medicare Penis Pumps

PSA or prostate-specific antigen tests are recommended for men over 50 years of age annually, or any man that has a medical history of prostate cancer. PSA or prostate-specific antigen tests are used in conjunction with the digital rectal exams to detect prostate cancer or recurrences of cancer. PSA is a protein that is created by the prostate glands’ cells, and is considered a marker, and therefore is able to help find cancer even when it is benign.

There are many men that use penis pumps or ED pumps and have not been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction or impotence. impotence or erectile dysfunction is considered the body’s inability to get or keep an erection for a period of time. Many men use ED pumps or penis pumps and do not go to a doctor to find out about the underlying conditions that have caused the ED. Underlying conditions include but are not limited to prostate issues such as enlargement or cancer, high or low blood pressure, stress, medications, injury and atherosclerosis. If you have symptoms of ED, you should seek professional help. PSA levels or results are not definitive, nor are they the only things used to help men with ED to find out about prostate issues. However, PSA levels are looked at along with your prior medical history as a means of helping to determine the cause of the ED or prostate issues.

PSA results do not have a set high or low level. Doctors determine if your level is high or low based on your prior medical history and current condition. PSA results can be interfered with by hormone therapy or other medications, so it is important to disclose these medications prior to the PSA test being done. PSA results can vary from lab to lab as well, so if your levels are too high or too low, simply ask for the test to be run again with a different lab. PSA results that are too high or too low does not mean that you necessarily have cancer of the prostate, it simply means more information is needed; especially if you have no signs or symptoms of cancer. Therefore PSA results can be very informative to a doctor when helping you to determine the cause of your ED. PSA tests can be done at any doctor’s office, and is generally done along with the digital rectal exam as part of an annual exam. If you have not had your PSA test done, ask your doctor for more information.
