But cancer is just one of several possible causes of increased <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>Prostate tissue typically releases small amounts of <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> into your blood. When the prostate grows, <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels increase. When the entire prostate is removed, <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels fall close to zero. Most procedures used to treat an enlarged prostate remove only part of the prostate, which partially decreases <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> les niveaux.<\/p>\n<p>After any enlarged prostate procedure, a number of factors can cause <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels to go up again, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prostate cancer.<\/strong> Prostate cancer cells in remaining prostate tissue or in other parts of your body can release <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recurrent benign prostate growth.<\/strong> Remaining prostate tissue might continue to grow, leading to increased <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> les niveaux.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inflammation of prostate tissue (prostatitis).<\/strong> Infection or inflammation of the prostate gland or remaining prostate tissue can cause your <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels to increase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have increasing <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels after surgery for an enlarged prostate, your health care provider might recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A wait-and-see approach.<\/strong> You might need to retake the <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> test.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication.<\/strong> If your provider suspects prostatitis, you might take certain medications to cure the infection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional tests.<\/strong> If a second test shows high <abbr title=\"prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> levels, your provider might recommend an imaging exam of the prostate with ultrasound, a computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
