Contact UsWhat Is Elevated PSA?
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is primarily found in semen but may also be present in the blood. At Metro Atlanta Urology and Pelvic Health Center, we offer a diagnostic blood test to check the levels of your PSA. Elevated PSA test results may indicate the presence of a serious condition in the prostate gland. If a high PSA level is detected, Dr. Shenelle Wilson will further investigate the cause to determine the ideal treatment options to meet your individual needs. If you are concerned your PSA level may be higher than normal, please contact our office in Kennesaw, GA to schedule a private consultation.
What Causes Elevated PSA?
Your PSA level is checked through a simple blood test. Elevated PSA levels may indicate the presence of several prostate-related conditions. Though PSA tests are commonly used to screen for prostate cancer, several factors may cause higher than normal PSA levels, including:
- Age
- Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
- Increased levels of parathyroid hormone
- Surgical procedures around the groin
- Urinary tract infections
- Prostate trauma
- Recent ejaculation
- Prostate cancer
Treatment for an elevated PSA will vary, depending on what may be causing it. If it's prostate cancer, treatment options include robotic simple prostatectomy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and cryotherapy.

The most lovely and caring staff. Dr. Wilson was wonderful and throughout answering questions and walking me through all the steps for my case. I left feeling very happy and could not recommend this practice enough!
Dr. Wilson really cares and is compassionate. I highly recommend her and her staff!
It took me 72 years & 11 surgeries to FINALLY find a GREAT DOCTOR & SURGEON!! I thought my guts were falling out! She fit me in as a new patient immediately with an emergency situation. She was thorough, gentle, concerning & answered all my questions so that I understood. She’s warm, friendly & caring. Like a friend! She gave me options . I made my decision. I needed a Pelvic Prolapse. She returns my texts quickly!!!! Never had a Dr do that! She has a wonderful staff… Isabella & Brian. Just a wonderful experience during a scary time. Thank You isn’t enough❤️
Dr. Wilson is awesome! Very knowledgeable, thorough and kind! Kudos to her team!
Dr. Wilson is unlike any provider I have had. With her background as both a urologist and urogynecologist, I realized I was missing a lot of things during my annual gynecology appointment that Dr. Wilson is able to address with her specialization and experience. I feel amazing and have been able to wean off my SSRI with targeted bioidentical hormone therapy under Dr. W’a care. I am so grateful, thank you for helping me live my best life!
