A slight over-simplification. In general, if you're over 45 and find you
can't put out fires with your hose anymore, that's fairly normal. But it's
certainly easy to get a PSA test to get a better idea if you've got
something to worry about or not (although a PSA test is by no means
conclusive). It's a simple blood test, nothing invasive or threatening
(providing you're not a wimp like me, who fears blood being drawn more than
most would believe, and yet I still had it done).
