PSA test after prostate removal surgery

The PSA test is a prostate-specific antigen test that checks for signs of cancer recurrence, following a prostate removal surgery.

PSA is abbreviated by Prostate-specific antigen, the PSA test is a prostate-specific antigen test that analyzes the level of proteins that the prostate produces.

In men with prostate cancer there is usually a high concentration of protein. However, high PSA is also caused by many causes, not just cancer. Some possible causes of increased blood PSA levels in addition to prostate cancer such as:

• Age: THE PSA in the blood tends to increase with age
• Proulsitis: Mostly caused by bacterial infections. Pro martyritis is also a chronic problem
• Benign prostate growth: Enlarged prostate conditions can cause PSA levels to increase. Benign prostate growth is a common condition in men of advanced age
• Due to medical procedures: Some medical procedures cause false positives in PSA tests such as placing a urinary tract or inserting instruments into the urethra for a prostate examination

• Strong exercise: Exercising excessively before taking a PSA test for 1-2 days can lead to incorrect results
• Esacing: Approximately 48 hours before a PSA test with ion, it may cause a temporary increase in PSA levels. Therefore, it is recommended to abstain from masturbation or sex before the test for 2-3 days.

The prostate produces a protein with a low concentration in the blood called prostate antigen that is signed as PSA. In the treatment of prostate cancer the doctor usually surgically removes the prostate gland. After surgery the doctor needs to use a prostate-specific antigen test to check for signs of recurrence of prostate cancer.

High levels of PSA in the blood suggest problems with the prostate condition, including prostate cancer. Prostate cancer therapy is a surgical removal of the prostate gland. In one operation, a radical removal of the prostate gland, the doctor will remove the entire prostate as well as some tissue around the gland. After the surgical removal of the prostate gland, to check if the cancer has been successfully removed and to be screening for recurrent cancer, the doctor will prescribe a PSA test to the patient.

Prostate cancer is likely to return after surgical removal of the prostate gland. In 2013, there was research showing that after 10 years of surgery, prostate cancer recurs between 20% and 40% of men.

Although surgeons completely remove the prostate gland, some cancer cells may still remain or invade the surrounding tissues. If these cancer cells grow, they can cause prostate cancer to return. PSA testing can help doctors detect and treat prostate cancer early.

In summary, the PSA test after prostate removal surgery is a test to check and evaluate the elimination of cancer and relapse cancer screening. Therefore, after surgery, when there are abnormal manifestations, patients should immediately notify the doctor for timely intervention methods.
