    High total prostate-specific antigen may be caused by prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, prostate tumors, etc., which are relatively common factors.

    1. Prostatitis

    Prostatitis is a relatively common disease, mainly caused by inflammatory stimulation. After being stimulated by inflammation, high total prostate-specific antigen may occur.

    2. Prostatic hyperplasia

    After the onset of prostatic hyperplasia, urinary dysfunction may occur, as well as frequent urination, urgency, and bifurcated urine. During examination, the total prostate-specific antigen may be high.

    3. Prostate tumors

    If prostate tumor disease occurs, prostate function may be affected, and total prostate-specific antigen may also be high.

    In addition to the above common causes, it may also be caused by malignant tumors of the prostate. You can go to the hospital to confirm the diagnosis through relevant examinations.
