Hi- at the age of 73, with thalassemia minor, I have had my PSA level checked for the first time. The blood test revealed it to be very high at 39.8. I am now awaiting an MRI scan of the prostate. The doctors internal (finger examination) did not find anything out of the ordinary thankfully. Other than irritating waterworks problems I have no other concerns. Could the thalassemia connection play a part in the high PSA level in my blood?
