Technically you could be tested for prostate cancer at any age with a simple 2 second rectal exam by your primary care physician or a Proctologist, but it's usually recommended that men over the age of 40 get annual physicals which include this rectal exam. In cases where there is a family history of prostate cancer they might recommended getting examined at a younger age.

What is a psa count of 6?
PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. The prostate is constantly renewing itself or growing. At the same time, the body is producing antigens to try to destroy the prostate as if it were a foreign body. The faster the prostate produces new cells, the faster the body produces PSA.. If there is a cancer in the prostate, the cancer cells are prostate cells, but they are produced much faster than normal prostate cells. As a result, when the man has prostate cancer, it can be detected by measuring his PSA. The PSA reading must be compared to the individual's normal PSA reading to know whether he has prostate cancer. When a prostate cancer is being treated, the PSA reading can be compared to earlier PSA readings to determine whether the cancer is receding or growing. A PSA of 6 is rather high and probably indicates there is prostate cancer growth.
Does brown semen lead to prostate cancer?
No. The cause of prostate cancer is not known. What we DO know is that if a man lives long enough, he will develop prostate cancer. By age 70, most men have an enlarged prostate, and by age 90 we all do. Some of us develop fast-growing and therefore dangerous cancers, but most of us will live out the remainder of our lives with a slow-growing cancer that won't develop fast enough to be a danger.
