Which condition, other than benign prostate hyperplasia (bph), would you expect to cause a rise in the level of prostate specific antigen (psa)?

Respuesta :

Prostatitis is a condition other than benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), would you expect to cause a rise in the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

Prostatitis is a condition that affects the prostate gland and is typically accompanied by inflammation. Prostatitis frequently results in painful or challenging urination, as well as groin, pelvic, or genital pain. Some cases of prostatitis, although not all, are brought on by bacterial infections.

The prostate gland produces PSA or prostate-specific antigen. Prostate cancer, prostatitis, or an enlarged prostate gland are all possible causes of high PSA values. PSA levels are dependent on age and person. There is no "standard range" for PSA values, as was previously stated, although normally anything above 4.0 ng/mL suggests a concern. However, you can develop prostatitis even if your PSA level is below 4.0 ng/mL.
