The PSA test will be prescribed by the doctor to detect any prostate cancer, benign prostate enlargement, or infection of the prostate gland. Symptoms that indicate high PSA levels are:
- Backache
- Pelvic pain

The PSA test is also an important test for men who can develop prostate cancer in the future. They must do the test regularly, as recommended by the doctor. These risk factors are:
