My husband is expierenceing a few issues, he has blood in his urine, erectile dysfunction, and the urge to empty his blatter but can not fully empty it. His 53 years old and very fit. he is not over weight, he exercizes regulary, does not smoke or drink. He recently had a PSA test preformed the results were normal, I do not have the actual number. he has an appointment with a ureologist in September. Could all of these symptoms be related to Prostate Cancer? Is there anything else we should be doing at this time?

 

Thank you,
