The prostate is a small gland at the base of the bladder in men. It is part of the male reproductive system and produces the protein PSA. PSA is released into semen but some also enter the bloodstream. High levels of PSA can be caused by prostate cancer.
If you have prostate symptoms, you might be asked to have a PSA test. If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the PSA test can help track your condition. How is it tracked? When the levels go up, this suggests the cancer is growing. When they go down, this suggests it might be shrinking.
The PSA test is not recommended if you do not have any symptoms of possible prostate cancer. It is only beneficial for those who have symptoms. Routine screening is not recommended if you do not have any symptoms. This is because the PSA test is not very accurate for screening men without symptoms. High PSA levels can be due to many things – cancer is only one of them.
There is a range of risks and potential benefits of PSA testing. So, it is important to talk to your doctor to help make an informed decision.
