Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test Popular

The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test is a simple blood test used to measure the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland. It is an important tool for screening and monitoring prostate health, including conditions such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis.

PSA levels can rise for different reasons. While elevated PSA may be associated with prostate cancer, it can also be caused by noncancerous conditions like prostate enlargement or inflammation. For this reason, PSA testing is best used as part of an ongoing health evaluation rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

This test helps establish a baseline, track changes over time, and support early detection—when treatment options are often most effective.

What Is Included In This Test?

This test measures Total PSA, which reflects the overall amount of prostate-specific antigen in the blood.

What Total PSA Can Indicate:

• Lower PSA levels are generally associated with healthy prostate function
• Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, or an increased risk of prostate cancer

Total PSA testing is commonly used for initial screening and long-term monitoring. If results fall into a borderline range (typically between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL), additional testing, such as a PSA Free-to-Total Ratio, may be recommended to better assess cancer risk and determine next steps.

Who Should Consider This Test?

The PSA test is recommended for adult men (born male at birth) who want to take a proactive approach to prostate health.

You should consider this test if you:

• Are 50 years or older, or younger with risk factors
• Have a family history of prostate cancer
• Are experiencing urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating or frequent urination
• Want a baseline PSA level for future comparison
• Are monitoring known prostate conditions like BPH or prostatitis
• Want early insight into prostate health before symptoms appear

This test does not diagnose prostate cancer on its own, but it plays a key role in early detection, risk assessment, and informed decision-making.

Taking a PSA test is a simple step that can provide valuable insight into your prostate health and support early intervention when it matters most.
