Factors like age, infections, an enlarged prostate, or recent sexual activity can affect PSA levels.

It’s a signal you shouldn’t ignore, but think of it as a red flag, not a final verdict. 🚩

PSA results: When to worry and when to wait?

PSA above 4 is worth a closer look, but we consider your age, prostate size, how fast PSA is rising, and family history before deciding on a biopsy. Personalized care matters.

Worried about an elevated PSA? Don’t panic.

Dr. Daneshvar shares that high PSA levels aren’t always linked to cancer. Sometimes it’s an enlarged prostate, infection, or inflammation.

The key is to get checked and understand your results alongside your doctor.

Prostate cancer treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Dr. Daneshvar explains that some men are excellent candidates for active surveillance, depending on:

âś… PSA levels
âś… Pathology results
âś… Additional biomarkers

Others may benefit from surgery. The key is personalized care and the right evaluation.
