Explanation

PSA level refers to the amount of prostate-specific antigen in a man's blood. This substance is produced by the prostate gland, which is a small organ that sits below the bladder in men. Doctors often measure PSA levels to check for signs of prostate cancer or other prostate conditions. A high PSA level can be a sign of a problem, but it doesn't always mean cancer.
