Hey guys. Thanks in advance for bearing with me as I know I’m not exactly the standard demo for this group.

I’m 27. Both my grandfathers had prostate cancer in their early 40s. Because of my family history, my doctor gave me a PSA test and it came back at 1.0, which is way too high for someone my age (my understanding is it should be no more than 0.7).

I’ve always urinated a LOT (like every hour) but until now I’d chalked it up to drinking ~a gallon of water a day (I exercise every day and live in a hot climate). Given my family history, should I be concerned? And if so, how can a younger guy push for testing when doctors almost universally consider this an older man’s disease?
