What should I do if the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is high?

Patient's question:

My father got a PSA test today, and the results are a bit high. Is that a problem?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate-specific antigen is related to prostate cancer. If it is slightly elevated, there is usually no major issue, and additional treatment is not necessary. It is only required to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and monitor the situation closely. After a period of time, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up test. The prostate can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
