What Is PSA?
PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen.
PSA is produced by prostate tissue. PSA levels may increase when the prostate is enlarged, inflamed, irritated or affected by other prostate conditions.
PSA testing may be used as part of prostate health screening, but it does not diagnose prostate cancer by itself.

Total PSA vs Free PSA
Total PSA measures the overall amount of PSA in the blood.
Free PSA measures the portion of PSA that is not attached to proteins.
If your total PSA is borderline or elevated, your healthcare provider may recommend Free PSA, Percent Free PSA, repeat PSA testing or a urology referral depending on your situation.
Important: PSA Does Not Diagnose Prostate Cancer by Itself
PSA testing can provide useful prostate-related information, but it does not diagnose prostate cancer by itself.
A high PSA does not always mean cancer is present, and a normal PSA does not completely rule out prostate cancer.
If PSA results are abnormal, a healthcare provider may recommend repeat PSA testing, digital rectal exam, urine testing, imaging, referral to urology or biopsy depending on the situation.
Factors That May Affect PSA Results
PSA levels may be affected by several factors.
- Prostate enlargement
- Prostatitis or prostate inflammation
- Urinary tract infection
- Recent ejaculation
- Recent prostate exam or procedure
- Recent catheter use
- Recent cycling or pressure on the prostate area
- Certain medications
Tell your healthcare provider about symptoms, medications, recent procedures and recent sexual activity before interpreting results.
Important Health Warning
If you have inability to urinate, severe pelvic pain, fever with urinary symptoms, blood in urine, severe back pain, unexplained weight loss, weakness, numbness or any urgent medical concern, seek medical care promptly.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment.
