What It Measures

Understanding the PSA Test

A PSA test measures the level of Prostate-Specific Antigen in your blood โ€” a protein produced by both normal and abnormal prostate cells. Elevated levels can signal conditions that need medical attention.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Cancer Screening

Primary tool for detecting prostate cancer early, especially for men over 50 or those with family history.

๐Ÿ“Š BPH Detection

Identifies Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia โ€” a common, non-cancerous prostate enlargement in aging men.

๐Ÿฉบ Treatment Monitoring

Tracks response to prostate cancer treatment, helping doctors evaluate effectiveness over time.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Trend Tracking

Regular testing creates a PSA baseline so doctors can detect rising trends before symptoms appear.

PSA Level Reference Chart
Normal (0โ€“4 ng/mL)Low Risk
Borderline (4โ€“10 ng/mL)Monitor
Elevated (10+ ng/mL)Investigate

*Reference ranges are general guidelines. Results should always be interpreted by a qualified clinician.

Am I at Risk?

Who Should Get a PSA Test?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. These groups are at higher risk and should consider regular PSA screening.

๐Ÿ‘ด

Men Over 50

Risk increases significantly after 50. Annual or biennial PSA screening is recommended for all men in this age group, regardless of symptoms.

๐Ÿงฌ

Family History

If a father or brother had prostate cancer, your risk doubles. Screening should begin earlier โ€” from age 40โ€“45.

โš ๏ธ

Experiencing Symptoms

Frequent urination, weak urine flow, or pelvic discomfort can be early signs. A PSA test helps identify the cause quickly.

Before Your Visit

How to Prepare for Your PSA Test

Simple steps to ensure your results are as accurate as possible. Preparation matters more than most people think.

1

Avoid Ejaculation for 24โ€“48 Hours

Sexual activity can temporarily raise PSA levels. Avoid ejaculation at least a day before your test to prevent a false high reading.

2

Disclose All Medications

Some medications โ€” including finasteride and certain herbal supplements โ€” affect PSA levels. Share your full medication list with our clinician.

3

Wait After Any Prostate Procedures

Do not take a PSA test immediately after a prostate exam, biopsy, or procedure involving the prostate gland, as this can elevate results.

4

Fasting Is Not Required

Unlike many blood tests, the PSA test does not require fasting. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
