Brief Answer:
Possibly due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (enlargement prostate)
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) can be raised in various types of prostatic growths. The most frequent benign prostate conditions that cause an elevation in PSA level are prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (enlargement of the prostate). However, rise in PSA can also be an indication of Prostate Cancer. In case of prostate cancer rather than one single raised value the PSA level is likely to rise rapidly. So, if you test it once again after a month or so and the PSA level is still in the same range you need not worry.
Other things seem fine.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
