What a high PSA - Total (Prostate Specific Antigen) means, and common causes

PSA is above range. It is raised far more often by benign prostate enlargement and infection than by cancer, so a high value starts a conversation, not a diagnosis.

Common causes: Benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, urinary infection, recent catheterisation or prostate examination, cycling, ejaculation within 48 hours, and prostate cancer.

What a low PSA - Total (Prostate Specific Antigen) means, and common causes

A low PSA is the expected normal result.

Common causes: Not applicable, though finasteride and dutasteride roughly halve PSA and the result must be interpreted with that in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Commonly under 4 ng/mL, though the threshold rises with age and some guidelines use lower cut-offs for younger men.

Usually not. Most raised PSA results come from benign enlargement or infection. The doctor looks at the trend, the free to total ratio and the examination before considering a biopsy.

Test se 48 ghante pehle sambhog, cycling aur prostate jaanch se bachein, warna result jhootha zyada aa sakta hai.
