Patient's question:
I have been married for twenty years and have always felt that my prostate health is not very good, with inflammation. In addition, apart from some enlargement, my previous workplace had health check-ups, during which they performed an MRI and said that my prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were high. I want to ask if high PSA levels are normal?Doctor's answer:
If the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is high, it may indicate the possibility of prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostate cancer, as all these conditions can elevate the PSA level. You may consider further tests such as a color Doppler ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a thorough examination. In daily life, it is important to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of fried foods. It is also advisable to avoid prolonged sitting. Prostate conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital.
