What is a normal PSA level?

Under 4 ng/mL in most guidelines, though age-specific ranges exist. A rising PSA over serial tests is often more significant than any single reading.

Does a high PSA mean I have cancer?

Not necessarily. BPH and prostatitis also raise PSA. An elevated result requires further evaluation by a urologist.

How often should men get a PSA test?

Annually from age 50 (or 40 with family history) is a common recommendation. Discuss the appropriate schedule with your doctor.

What does the PSA Test measure?

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced exclusively by the prostate gland. A PSA blood test measures its concentration. Elevated levels can indicate prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostatitis.

Why does it matter?

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men globally. PSA testing combined with clinical examination enables early detection when treatment is most effective. While PSA is not a perfect test, it remains the most practical first-line screening tool for prostate disease.

Who should get this test?

Men over 50 as part of annual screening
Men over 40 with a family history of prostate cancer
Men with urinary symptoms (difficulty starting, weak stream, frequent night urination)
Men of South Asian descent with higher genetic risk
