Elevated PSA
An elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) level may indicate potential issues with the prostate gland. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is often used as a marker for prostate conditions such as enlarged prostate, prostatitis, or prostate cancer.
Elevated PSA
Causes
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): BPH is a common condition in older men where the prostate gland enlarges, leading to elevated PSA levels.
- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland can cause an increase in PSA levels.
- Prostate cancer: Elevated PSA levels can be an indication of prostate cancer, although not all cases of high PSA indicate cancer.
- Urinary tract infection: Infections in the urinary tract can cause inflammation and raise PSA levels.
- Recent ejaculation: Recent sexual activity or ejaculation can temporarily elevate PSA levels.
- Age: PSA levels naturally increase with age, so older men tend to have higher levels.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as NSAIDs or finasteride, can impact PSA levels.
