The PSA is not an absolute measure. You can have a high PSA reading for a number of reasons. Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) can increase the PSA reading very considerably, well above 30 on occasions. If that is suspected then a course of anti-biotics for about 10 days followed by another PSA test about 2 weeks to a month later would confirm if it was caused by an infection. A number of other things can cause the reading to increase. Ejaculation in the 7 days preceding the test can also raise the reading.

What is a psa count of 6?
PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. The prostate is constantly renewing itself or growing. At the same time, the body is producing antigens to try to destroy the prostate as if it were a foreign body. The faster the prostate produces new cells, the faster the body produces PSA.. If there is a cancer in the prostate, the cancer cells are prostate cells, but they are produced much faster than normal prostate cells. As a result, when the man has prostate cancer, it can be detected by measuring his PSA. The PSA reading must be compared to the individual's normal PSA reading to know whether he has prostate cancer. When a prostate cancer is being treated, the PSA reading can be compared to earlier PSA readings to determine whether the cancer is receding or growing. A PSA of 6 is rather high and probably indicates there is prostate cancer growth.
