Ngokwesiqhelo kuthatha malunga nosuku ukuba iziphumo zovavanyo lwegazi lwe-PSA zibuye. Nje ukuba iziphumo zifike, ugqirha wakho uza kukufowunela ukuze akwazise ukuba kufuneka olunye uvavanyo.

Amanqanaba e-PSA anokutshintsha ngokuhamba kwexesha ngezizathu ezahlukeneyo. Amanqanaba e-PSA anokunyuswa nokuba akukho mhlaza. Umzekelo,

• Ukuphuma komlomo
• Amanye amayeza
• I-Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Amanqanaba e-PSA anokunyuka ngenxa yezi zizathu. Ngoko ke, ukuba amanqanaba akho e-PSA aphezulu kancinci kunesiqhelo, ugqirha wakho angakuxelela ukuba wenze olunye uvavanyo lwe-PSA kwiinyanga ezintandathu.
