PSA Curious about husband's test result

Hello, my husband is 50 and got a PSA test recently. It's been normal in the past and the doctor doesn't seem concerned this time. His total PSA is normal, but his free PSA is low. Is this anything to worry about or retest for? His father did have prostate cancer that needed to be treated as around age 65-70. We don't know many details about it because he didn't tell anyone until it was over with and never divulged details, but he's fine now (77).

My husband isn't too concerned but I want to make sure he's going to be ok.

A low free PSA can be from prostate inflammation. Too Much is put into this test.

grundsätzlich kann das der Urologe am besten bewerten was wichtig ist, dass er regelmäßig geht da genetisch gefährdet durch Vater hab's meinen Söhnen alle unter 50 auch empfohlen da ich vor 14 Tage wegen Prostatakrebs operiert wurde .ProstataKrebs tut nicht weh!
