PSA Test - Total Prostate Specific Antigen Near Me in Mohali

There are no strict dietary restrictions for a PSA test. However, it is advisable to avoid spicy food if you have urinary symptoms. More importantly, refrain from ejaculation 48 hours before the test, and inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.

PSA levels can exceed 100 ng/mL in advanced cases of prostate cancer. However, elevated levels do not always indicate cancer. Results must be interpreted in the context of your age, symptoms, and medical history.

Avoid ejaculation and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours before the test. Also, delay the test if you've recently undergone prostate manipulation (e.g., catheterisation, biopsy, or rectal exam), as these can temporarily elevate PSA levels.

The PSA test itself involves minimal risk as it only requires a blood sample. However, elevated results may lead to further tests, some of which may be invasive. It is important to discuss the benefits and limitations of PSA testing with your doctor.
