What Is The Normal PSA Level In Blood?

Question: What is the normal limits for PSA count.
Brief Answer:
Biopsy seems advisable.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Generally PSA level for your age is below 3,5 ng/ml. However this may vary depending of the laboratory (every laboratory has its own norm).
Biopsy is usually done in case of abnormal PSA levels or abnormalities in rectal examination or abnormal ultrasound.
So it is possible that your urologist could find something in the ultrasound or during the rectal examination. Your PSA level is a little bit too high so this would be an indication to biopsy as well.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

I had an ultrasound done on my bladder and it came out with a reading of 153 indicating the bladder wasn't empting. But I did not have any pressure
