Hi,
Here is a general article explaining the PSA test: https://prostatecancer.net/diagnosis/psa-test. This article was written by one of our advocates, Gogs, who further explains the PSA test's shortcomings: https://prostatecancer.net/living/psa-blood-test-results.
On another note, we have seen other men in this community have PSA levels in that same range. You are not alone. Have you checked with your doctor for additional testing? We will always advise you to follow up with your doctors to figure out the next best step to pinpoint what is contributing to the elevated PSA level. Let us know; we will be curious to hear an update.
All the best,
Amylyn, Community manager
