Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the cells of the epithelium of the prostate gland with the task of thinning the ejaculate, allowing better sperm motility.
This protein also plays a role in the dissolution of cervical mucus, facilitating the entry of sperm into the uterus. Normally, PSA is present in men’s blood with a healthy prostate in small quantities. In the presence of prostate diseases (such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and cancer) PSA levels in blood increase. PSA levels undergo a physiological increase with advancing age or after prostate surgery and as a consequence of specific diagnostic tests.
