Overview

PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen)

PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen)

The PSA test measures the level of Prostate-Specific Antigen in the blood. PSA is a protein produced primarily by cells in the prostate gland, which is a small gland located in the male pelvis, just below the bladder.

The test is primarily used to screen for and monitor prostate cancer and other conditions affecting the prostate.


The PSA test is used for three main purposes:

Screening for Prostate Cancer: It is used as a primary screening tool to detect potential cancer in men, particularly those with a family history of the disease or those over age 50.

Monitoring Prostate Cancer: For men already diagnosed with prostate cancer, the PSA test is crucial for monitoring the disease's activity.

  • After Treatment: A rising PSA after surgery or radiation can indicate that the cancer has recurred.
  • Active Surveillance: For men with slow-growing, low-risk cancer, a stable PSA allows them to avoid immediate aggressive treatment.

Investigating Other Prostate Conditions: Elevated PSA can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions.

Frequently asked questions on " PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen) "

No, fasting is not required for the PSA test. Food and drink intake do not affect the levels of PSA in the blood. However, it is generally recommended to avoid ejaculation or vigorous prostate manipulation for 24-48 hours before the test, as these activities can temporarily elevate the result.

No, absolutely not. While cancer is a serious cause of elevated PSA, the most common causes of a high result include: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, common in older men. Prostatitis: Inflammation or infection of the prostate gland. Temporary Changes: Recent ejaculation, bike riding, or a digital rectal exam (DRE) can cause a temporary spike.
