Prostate Specific Antigen's Overview

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test is a blood test used to measure the level of PSA protein in the blood. PSA is a substance produced by the prostate gland, a small gland in males that is part of the reproductive system. Normally, a small amount of PSA is present in the bloodstream, but higher levels may indicate certain prostate-related conditions.

The PSA blood test is commonly used to help detect and monitor conditions such as prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia – BPH), prostate inflammation (prostatitis), and prostate cancer. Elevated PSA levels do not always mean cancer, but they may signal that further evaluation is needed. Doctors often use the PSA test along with physical examination and other diagnostic tests to assess prostate health.

Doctors may recommend the PSA test for men who experience symptoms such as difficulty in urination, frequent urination (especially at night), weak urine flow, pelvic discomfort, or blood in the urine. It is also commonly advised for men above the age of 50 years, or earlier for those with a family history of prostate cancer, as part of routine health screening to detect prostate problems at an early stage.
