Elevated PSA
Elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) means a higher-than-normal level of a protein produced by the prostate gland. While it doesn't cause symptoms itself, common causes include benign prostate enlargement, infection, or prostate cancer. An elevated PSA warrants further evaluation by your doctor to understand the cause and determine appropriate next steps, as it's a signal requiring investigation, not a direct diagnosis of cancer.
