Your doctor may recommend you to undergo the PSA test to detect the following conditions:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - Otherwise known as an enlarged prostate gland, BPH can be screened by measuring the PSA levels in the bloodstream.
• Prostatitis - Also known as Prostate Inflammation, in this condition, PSA levels are higher than normal in the bloodstream.
• Prostate cancer - PSA test is one of the primary screening tests prescribed to detect prostate cancer. Elevated levels of PSA are a strong indication of risk of prostate cancer.

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

Your healthcare provider may also recommend you to take the test in the event of the below-mentioned symptoms:

• 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 are noticing any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately for a quick and timely diagnosis.

The PSA test does not require the patient to fast. However, the individual undergoing the test is 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 and affect the test results so, this helps prevent it. Heavy exercise and alcohol consumption are also best if avoided for a minimum of 24 hours before the test, as they may influence the PSA level in the blood.
