Elevated PSA

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a normal protein that is secreted by the prostate which aids in normal sexual function in men. Small amounts of PSA are normally detected in the blood. An elevated PSA may be suggestive of prostate disease including BPH, prostatitis, or even prostate cancer. Due to it being associated with numerous issues related to the prostate, it is vital to evaluate why a PSA may be elevated. At Urology of Hudson Valley, we provide a thorough diagnostic evaluation to determine the underlying cause of an elevated PSA and create a plan for the following steps.
