It is present in small quantities in the blood of all men, but higher levels can indicate prostate problems, including enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you have PSA tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA PSA test is recommended for men who experience symptoms that may indicate prostate problems, such as difficulty urinating, pain in the pelvic area, or blood in the urine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSA test measures the concentration of PSA in the blood. A low PSA value is considered normal and suggests that serious prostate problems are unlikely. A higher PSA value may indicate benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostatitis, but must be further investigated with additional tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high PSA level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high PSA level can be a sign of prostate problems, such as an enlarged prostate or an infection. Further diagnostic tests, such as a biopsy, may be necessary to determine the cause of the high PSA value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a low PSA level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low PSA level is a good sign and suggests that the risk of serious prostate problems is low. However, it does not mean there is no risk of prostate problems, so regular checkups are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47730363236698,"sku":"","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6816\/2394\/files\/Prostaat_PSA.png?v=1755941775","url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/products\/prostaat-psa","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
