Understanding PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total in Visakhapatnam


What is PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total in Visakhapatnam?

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (both free and bound) in the blood and is available at an affordable price in Visakhapatnam with Tata 1mg labs. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is mostly found in semen. It helps with sperm motility during ejaculation in males. Higher-than-normal PSA levels may indicate enlarged or inflamed prostate, urinary tract infection or irritation, or other problems with the prostate gland. 

PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total test can also help to detect and monitor the progression of prostate cancer and check for cancer recurrence in those who have completed prostate cancer treatment.

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, your doctor may ask you to avoid sexual intercourse for at least 48 hours before your test, as semen release can increase your PSA levels leading to inaccurate results.

What does PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total measure?

A PSA test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. PSA is a protein secreted by the prostate gland in males and is found in two forms: bound PSA (bound to other proteins) and free PSA. A PSA blood test measures both free and bound PSA levels. Most of the PSA produced in the body passes in the seminal fluid and only a small amount is secreted into the blood.

PSA levels in the blood get elevated in conditions affecting prostate health, like prostate cancer and prostate enlargement (benign prostatic enlargement or BPH). This test is used as a primary screening test before conducting other diagnostic procedures.
