Prostate cysts cannot cause elevations.
PSA, prostate-specific antigen, is a single-chain glycoprotein, and prostate follicular and ductal epithelial cells secrete prostate-specific antigen, so prostate-specific antigen is also prostate tissue-specific.
The normal value of serum prostate-specific antigen is 0~4ng/ml, and when serum prostate-specific antigen is higher than 10ng/ml, high alert for prostate cancer is needed.
Prostate massage and puncture, rectal examination, transurethral ultrasound, prostate electrocautery, and prostatitis episodes can all lead to varying degrees of prostate-specific antigen elevation, while prostate cysts often fail to cause prostate-specific antigen elevation.
