PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Blood Test

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Blood Test


The PSA blood test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may be associated with prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, or other prostate-related conditions. This test is often recommended for men over 50 or those with urinary symptoms or a family history of prostate concerns. Regular monitoring can help identify changes in prostate health over time.
