Suggest Tests To Check PSA Levels
I am 74 and my last 3 blood test readings for psa were 4,5 7. I have none of the signs of prostate problems. The blood test included many routine tests for other possible problems or level, unrelated to PSA. Is there a more specific blood test just for checking my PSA.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
PSA testing based on enhanced chemiluminescence is very accurate.
It should be done in the fasting state and 7 days after abstinence from the sexual activity.
Result between 4-10 ng/ml may be a prostate enlargement or cancer.
I would suggest to go for free PSA test, free PSA%, rectal examination and USG scan for further diagnosis of prostate problem.
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further query
