The PSA Debate: Should You Get Tested?

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing has long been a subject of medical debate. A simple blood test designed to detect early signs of prostate cancer, PSA screening measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland.

While elevated levels may suggest cancer, they can also result from benign conditions like prostatitis or an enlarged prostate.

Given this ambiguity, the question remains: Should men undergo routine PSA testing?

Prostate Health: Know the Facts, Act Early

The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland located just below the bladder in men. Though it might seem insignificant, this gland plays a crucial role in male reproductive health, producing seminal fluid that nourishes and transports s***m.

Yet, despite its importance, prostate health often goes overlooked until problems arise. Understanding the basics about prostate health and acting early can make a significant difference in preventing and managing serious conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer.

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT (e.g., GPT‑4) and emerging tools like DeepSeek offer support in symptom interpretation and triage.

However, their effectiveness for Asian patients may be limited by training data that is predominantly based on Western criteria or information. Variations in disease presentation and prevalence among Asian populations pose unique challenges.

Using AI chatbots for Medical Information – How to Prevent Fake Medical News?

Do you still use online search engine to find medical information?

AI chatbots like ChatGPT are taking over traditional search engines by offering fast, conversational responses. They now understand queries better and can even summarise online content.

But using AI tools to search for health information may carry risks. The AI chatbot’s knowledge is limited to its training data, so it may offer outdated and false healthcare advice. Crucially, it cannot verify the truth of its own output.
