What This Test Measures
This test measures:
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Indicates whether PSA levels are within a normal or elevated range
.
PSA is produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels may indicate prostate enlargement, inflammation, or other prostate-related conditions.
Symptoms to Be Aware Of
PSA levels themselves do not cause symptoms. However, elevated PSA may be linked to underlying prostate conditions that can cause symptoms such as:
Frequent urination, especially at night
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Weak urine flow
Pain or burning during urination
Lower back or pelvic discomfort
In some cases, prostate conditions may develop without noticeable symptoms, which is why testing can be important.
Understanding PSA Levels
PSA is naturally present in the blood, and levels typically increase with age.
Elevated PSA levels may be associated with:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Prostatitis (inflammation)
Prostate cancer
Temporary increases can also occur due to factors such as cycling or recent sexual activity.

Biomarkers included
- PSA: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland and commonly measured in the blood as a marker for prostate health. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer but can also result from non-cancerous conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis.
How to prepare
For accurate results, follow these guidelines before testing: 1 week before: Be free from urinary tract infections. 2–3 days before: Avoid transrectal ultrasound examinations and urinary catheter use. 24–48 hours before: Avoid sexual intercourse or ejaculation. 24 hours before: Avoid prolonged cycling or motorbike riding.
Frequently asked questions
Does a high PSA level always indicate prostate cancer?
No, high PSA levels do not always mean cancer. Elevated markers can be caused by a variety of benign conditions, including an enlarged prostate (BPH), urinary tract infections, or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis).
How often should PSA levels be monitored?
PSA levels are typically monitored once a year for men over 50.
