PSA Test Numbers - What You Should Be Looking For

Friday, December 30, 2011 · Posted in , ,

If you are concerned about your PSA test numbers, and want to know what they mean and what to do with them, then check this out.

First off, here is what a PSA test does:

What it tests is the levels of prostate specific antigen in your blood. People who have elevated levels of PSA often have some kind of prostate problems. It was once thought it meant you had prostate cancer. But really, it might not mean anything at all. Or, maybe just that you have an enlarged prostate.

Are your PSA test numbers important?

In some ways, they are almost worthless.

Especially since, a lot of men who have had high levels of PSA in their blood have had nothing wrong, and people with low levels have been found to have prostate cancer anyway.

But, even so, I do not think it is totally worthless.

Just almost worthless.

Here is what I mean by that:

First off, you should let a doctor interpret your numbers for you and if he says to get the test, you should. It cannot hurt to get tested. Just don't take those numbers as "gospel" that anything is wrong (or isn't wrong) with your prostate.

But, there is one thing the numbers are good for.

Generally, you should aim to get them lower over time.

That is a good use for those numbers -- to gauge if they are going up or down.

Lower is usually better, so as long as they are going down, you are probably doing good.

This is not guaranteed, of course.

But as far as your PSA test numbers go, that is one case where they are useful.
