PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total near me in Mumbai

PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is mostly found in semen. It helps with sperm motility during ejaculation in males. Higher-than-normal PSA levels may indicate enlarged or inflamed prostate, urinary tract infection or irritation, or other problems with the prostate gland.
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Total test can also help to detect and monitor the progression of prostate cancer and check for cancer recurrence in those who have completed prostate cancer treatment.
