A PSA level above 4.0 ng/mL is typically considered elevated and may suggest the presence of prostate cancer. However, it’s important to consult with your doctor to understand the cause, as other conditions, such as an enlarged prostate or inflammation, can also lead to an increased PSA level. Your doctor can help determine the appropriate next steps based on your individual health and circumstances.

There is no single answer to this question, as the risk of prostate cancer varies among men. However, most experts suggest that men over the age of 50 discuss testing with their doctor, as the risk tends to increase at this age. Men with a family history of prostate cancer may need to begin testing earlier, as they may have a higher risk.

If your results fall outside the normal range and are concerning, it is essential to contact your local GP or emergency services immediately by calling 111 or 999.
