Urine And Blood Tests
The prostate-specific antigen or PSA is a blood test that can measure a protein generated by the prostate. If the results suggest higher levels of PSA in the blood, it can be a sign of prostatitis or cancer. However, some men with normal results can still suffer from prostate cancer. This test should be interpreted with results from other diagnostic tests to ensure a precise diagnosis. Another option is a urinalysis, which measures urine volume to identify infection or inflammatory cells. [2]
