PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen) in Puebla
PSA is a blood test that measures a protein produced by the prostate. It's the most widely used marker for the early detection of prostate cancer and for monitoring benign prostatic enlargement (BPH).
An elevated PSA does not automatically mean cancer — many conditions raise it. What matters is who interprets the result. The Dr. Bruno Rubí team analyses PSA together with your history, exam and (if needed) imaging to avoid unnecessary biopsies.

What is the prostate-specific antigen (PSA)?+
PSA is a protein produced by prostate cells. It's measured in blood and is used to screen for prostate cancer and to monitor benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
How do I prepare for the PSA test?+
Avoid ejaculation, intense cycling and digital rectal exams 48 hours before the blood draw. Fasting is not required.
What does an elevated PSA mean?+
An elevated PSA may indicate cancer, but more often it reflects BPH, prostatitis, recent ejaculation or even urinary infection. Only a urologist can interpret it correctly.
Does elevated PSA mean I have cancer?+
Not necessarily. Most elevated PSA results turn out to be benign causes. The urologist decides if further evaluation (MRI, biopsy) is needed.
How often should I measure my PSA?+
Once a year from age 45–50 (40 if you have family history). Your urologist will personalize the schedule if PSA is elevated.
