PSA and other tests

OVer the past years have occasional bouts with bladder infections.
Had a PVP a couple years ago, for the most part it worked out great.
Now, the PSA is moving about a bit. One month maybe 2.something anothe
over 4.
Uro wants to get a handle on this, so have another scheduled in about
4-weeks. He also mentioned another test which I did not get the name
for, but basically a small amount of prostate is 'massaged'into the
urinary stream and from that, they run a DNA for additional info.
Any one familiar with this process ? ?
Thanks
Gary
