Prostate test FAQs
The prostate gland produces a fluid with sperm cells from the testicles and fluids from other glands comprising semen.
The Prostate Specific Antigen test is a blood test for detecting prostate cancer. High PSA levels may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. Still, they may also be benign prostatic hyperplasia or inflammation of the prostate gland (also known as prostatitis) due to an infection or other cause.
