What is the PSA value of the prostate?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 21 years old this year. A few weeks ago, because of frequent urination, I felt that my prostate had problems again, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of the prostate. However, there is a column that says "prostate PSA value," and I don't understand it, so I would like to consult what the prostate PSA value is?

Doctor's answer:

According to the condition you described, you have prostatitis. You can undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination, which can basically confirm the diagnosis. You can take Gatifloxacin capsules and Tinidazole tablets for treatment. Avoid drinking beer, spicy foods, and getting cold. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and do perineal cold compresses or sit baths daily.
PSA is a prostate-specific antigen, a biological marker for prostate cancer. A significant decline in PSA levels may suggest the possibility of prostate cancer and can be used for screening, early diagnosis, staging treatment, evaluating efficacy, and follow-up observations.
Since the patient is directly affected by the prostate, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention.
