PSA is the so-called specific steroidal antigen, a protein produced by the prostate, or prostate gland. The total PSA test is performed from a patient's blood for early detection of prostate cancer.

The PSA test is painless and can be performed at any time of the day, as long as we follow the rules for preparing for the test. It is one of the primary screening tests that men should take. Risk factors include age and genetic predisposition. It is significantly higher if two of the closest relatives have had prostate cancer.

Total PSA testing should be performed by men who:

have turned 50, every 1-2 years
have turned 45 years old if their father or brother has developed prostate cancer
before the age of 65
they are over 40 years of age if multiple relatives were affected by prostate cancer before age 65
have symptoms of prostate cancer
have hematuria, suffer from perineal or lower abdominal pain
are burdened with a genetic susceptibility to prostate cancer

The frequency of repeat testing depends on the PSA result:

2.5 ng/ml and above annually.

The test is performed annually

The decision to perform the test should be made by the patient after being informed of the benefits and risks of the test (false-positive results - elevated PSA levels may also be associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and inflammation within the prostate gland). It is also important to pay attention to the rate of PSA rise. An increase of more than 20% per year or more than 0.75 ng/ml may be indicative of disease.

frequent urination
bladder pressure
weakening of urine stream
constipation
back pain in the lumbar spine
weight loss
erectile dysfunction

It is important to remember not to underestimate the first signs of disease. Detection of cancer at an advanced stage significantly hinders treatment. Prostate cancer in its early stages does not produce characteristic symptoms, but as it grows, it can easily metastasize to lymph nodes.

More than 10 men die every day from prostate cancer - remember to get screened!
