Understanding High PSA Levels

• PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels can indicate prostate issues, including benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer.

Next Steps: Medical Evaluation

• Consult a urologist for further assessment. Recommended tests may include a repeat PSA test, digital rectal exam, imaging (ultrasound or MRI), and possibly a prostate biopsy.

Treatment Options Based on Diagnosis

• Treatment varies: antibiotics for infection, monitoring for benign conditions, or specific therapies for prostate cancer.

Lifestyle and Monitoring

• Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and follow up with regular PSA testing as advised by your doctor.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

• Urgent symptoms include difficulty urinating, blood in urine, or pelvic pain. Seek medical help promptly if these occur.
