• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - Also known as an enlarged prostate gland, BPH can be screened by measuring the PSA levels in the bloodstream.
• Prostatitis - This condition is also known as Prostate Inflammation, in which the PSA levels are higher than normal in the bloodstream.
• Prostate cancer - PSA test is one of the primary screening tests that helps detect prostate cancer. Elevated levels of PSA are an indication and a signifying factor of prostate cancer.

The PSA test is suggested to facilitate the timely detection of prostate cancer. If a prostate-related condition is left undiagnosed for a long time, severe health complications may occur.

Your doctor may also recommend you to take the test if any of the below-mentioned symptoms are noticed:

• Painful ejaculation
• Burning sensation during urination
• Frequent urges to urinate
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pain in the lower back or the pelvis

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately for a quick and timely diagnosis.

The PSA test does not require fasting on the part of the patient. However, male individuals undergoing the test are advised to avoid ejaculation for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before the test. Any recent release of semen could elevate PSA levels in the bloodstream affecting the test results, so this will help prevent it. Heavy exercise and alcohol consumption should also be avoided for a minimum of 24 hours before the test, as they tend to influence the PSA level in the blood.
