Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong with my lower body, it's very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What is the meaning of total prostate-specific antigen?Doctor's answer:
When chronic inflammation occurs in the prostate, lymphocytes, plasma cells, or ductal epithelial cells are damaged, leading to varying degrees of PSA leakage from the acini. Subsequently, it permeates the lymphatic system and enters the bloodstream, resulting in elevated serum PSA levels. The severity of infiltration is closely related to the frequency of epithelial damage. As everyone knows, prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
