Hello dear
I understand your concern
PSA 9.11 should be concerned.
It could be due to prostate enlargement, prostatitis, and prostate cancer.
PSA is specific for the prostate. No any other oragam affcet it.
Sexual activity before tests may cause increase value.
So ensure that you have not given blood just after sexual intercourse/ejacualtion.
I would suggest to consult the urologist and undergo free PSA to PSA ratio, digital rectal examination and USG scan to rule out the prostate problem.
Treatment will depend on the cause.
Tamsulosin will help in symptoms of prostate enlargement.
Hope this may help you
