A member asked:

21 years old. is a psa level of 0.4 ng / ml normal? is there a risk of prostate hyperplasia in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your PSA level at age 21 does not say anything about your future risk of prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
