PSA tests are done at PharmEasy Labs in all cities of India, including Amritsar.
PSA is a protein generated in the prostate gland and is primarily found in the semen, with trace levels released in the bloodstream.
Both normal and cancerous prostates are capable of producing PSA. If there is a problem with the prostate, such as prostate enlargement or cancer, the secretion of this protein increases. In time, the rising PSA reaches a level that can be easily detected in a blood test.
The PSA secretion is also age-dependent. Its level increases very slowly with age. So, generally, for people over 70, doctors do not recommend PSA tests.
Usually, a higher PSA level means a higher chance of prostate cancer. However, it has been found that having a high PSA level does not necessarily mean that one will develop prostate cancer. In some rare cases, it is also seen that someone has cancer, though his PSA level is low.
Sometimes, the secretion rate is raised due to other reasons as well, like:
- Prostate size- a larger prostate may raise the PSA level
- Prostatitis- a swollen, tender, and inflamed prostate due to bacterial infection causes elevated PSA levels
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia- BPH is a prostate condition that makes it difficult for urination or ejaculation and also causes high PSA
- Urinary tract infection- the infection, besides the medical procedure involving the urethra or bladder, irritates the prostate, causing PSA levels to rise.
- Prostate stimulation- sexual activity, digital rectal examination, or a long bike drive can raise PSA temporarily.

Test Necessity
PSA tests are quite common. If the PSA level is normal, the doctor suggests the test every two years. In case of abnormal levels, this rest is done every six to twelve months for close observations. If a person has developed prostate cancer, PSA tests are done to monitor how well the disease is being controlled by medications.
Test Preparation
Men should not have ejaculated within 48 hours preceding the PSA test. As semen can temporarily raise the PSA level, which will alter the results. For the same reason men should not exercise vigorously for 48 hours before the test.
During the PSA Test
During the PSA test, the phlebotomist will find the right vein to draw blood from using a vein finder. New needles and syringes ensure that there is no health risk. The sample is safely taken to the Labs after that for analysis.
