question from a user

Should I be worried if my psa levels increased from 1.5 to 2.2 in 6 months? I’m getting blood drawn again in about a month. My clinic told me that I would see an increase but seems like a big jump.

AlphaMD's Answer

Typically any raise in PSA less than double is considered benign and non-concerning. However, repeat testing with any elevation is recommended.
