Why is my PSA level high?

Elevated PSA levels can be a result of many things unrelated to cancer, including:

Enlargement of the prostate
Prostatitis (infection of the prostate)
Urinary infection
Recent prostate procedure (i.e. biopsy)

If your PSA results come back high, we will recommend follow up with a specialist to rule out prostate cancer.
