Per American Cancer Society guidelines, you can repeat screening with PSA every 1-2 years. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/prostate-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/acs-recommendations.html

Your PSA is excellent for your age. If no problems, than a yearly exam is sufficient, As you get older always be aware and see if you have any family history, and if so than twice a year is recommended.
