3. PSA TOTAL

Avoid vigorous activities and sexual activity for 48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking. No fasting is required.
Elevated PSA levels may suggest prostate inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer. Further tests may be required for a definitive diagnosis.
