PSA is a protein synthesized naturally by the prostate gland to liquefy semen, serving as a tracking marker for prostate health.

Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
0 – 4 ng/mL
0 – 0 ng/mL
0 – 4 ng/mL
What does a low result mean?
A value below 4 ng/mL is standard and reassuring, matching ordinary baseline numbers for adult males.
What does a high result mean?
A modest increase is very frequently benign, caused by normal age-related prostate enlargement (BPH), bicycle riding, or recent intimacy.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could recent bicycling or intimacy in the 48 hours prior have nudged this reading?
- Would measuring free PSA and the free-to-total ratio clarify this result?
- Is a confirmatory recheck in 1 to 2 months recommended?
