PSA is a protein produced by both normal and cancerous cells of the prostate, a small gland placed below the bladder of men. PSA is mostly found in semen, which is also produced in the prostate. Normally a small amount of PSA circulates in the blood.

There is no such single PSA reading to be considered as normal. Typically most men have a PSA level of less than 3ng./ml (nanograms per millilitre), though the reading varies from person to person and the level increases as you get older.

Some men have been found to develop prostate cancer even though their PSA levels are normal for their age. Whereas some have high PSA levels but they do not have cancer.

Remember that high PSA levels indicate the possibility of prostate cancer, not the certainty. Talk to your doctor about your PSA level and what this means for you.

Your doctor may recommend a PSA test if you show any of these symptoms:

• Frequent urination, even at night  
• Urination is slow
• Difficulty in urinating
• Urinary incontinence (difficulty in retaining urine)

The PSA test is the only one that is used to screen for early signs of prostate cancer. If your PSA test result is positive, discuss with your doctor about medications and the possible outcome of the treatment.

Before taking a PSA test you need to know what affects PSA level. For example:

• Ejaculation within the last 48 hours
• Doing vigorous exercise within the last 48 hours
• Having an examination of your prostate (digital rectal examination) before the PSA blood test
• Having had a prostate biopsy in the last 6 weeks
• If you have had a urine infection
