Urology - PSA

Question
Hi Doctor,

I am 35 years old and have just perform a PSA test and the result for PSA is 4.00 ng/ml. Do you think I have prostate cancer. If not do you think I have a high possibilities of having prostate cancer?

Answer
Parwez:
I do not think you have prostate cancer. I think you have a mildly elevated PSA. This is most often due to infection, inflammation or enlargement of the prostate. Prostate cancer is by far not the most common cause of an increased PSA. Consult with a urologist for more details and to revie wyour options at this point.
