In this video, we explore what doctors generally consider “healthy” PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels and why these numbers can vary based on your age. We’ll discuss why no single cutoff works for every man, and how many clinicians pay close attention to your PSA trend over time—often called “PSA velocity”—to determine if further testing is needed.
You’ll learn:
Normal PSA Levels and Age: Why younger men typically have lower readings, and why slightly higher numbers might be normal for older men.
How Doctors Use PSA Trends: The importance of comparing new results with previous readings, and how rapid changes may prompt additional tests.
High PSA and What It Means: The potential role of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and the possibility of cancer, plus the steps doctors usually take to confirm or rule out a diagnosis—like imaging scans or biopsies.
Low PSA and Its Significance: Why low levels can be reassuring, but not always a guarantee that everything is fine, and how “free PSA” tests may offer extra insights.
This information is based on current medical guidelines, including insights from the American Urological Association. Always remember that PSA levels are just one tool, and personal factors can influence your results. For the best guidance, talk with a qualified healthcare professional about your individual situation.
