PSA test - #18436

I recently heard about the PSA test, and I want to understand what it is, why it’s important, and whether Ayurveda offers natural ways to support prostate health and prevent abnormalities. From what I read, the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a blood test used to measure levels of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland. High PSA levels may indicate prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, or even prostate cancer. While some elevations are harmless, persistent high levels require further medical evaluation. I do not have a diagnosed prostate issue, but I sometimes experience frequent urination, mild discomfort after urination, and occasional lower abdominal pressure, especially at night—could these be early signs of prostate inflammation or urinary tract issues? Does Ayurveda classify prostate problems as a Vata or Kapha imbalance, and what are the best natural ways to maintain prostate health and prevent PSA fluctuations? Additionally, I want to know whether diet and hydration habits affect prostate health. I consume a lot of caffeine and do not drink enough water, and I have read that poor hydration and an unhealthy diet can contribute to prostate enlargement and urinary difficulties—could my habits be affecting my prostate function? Does Ayurveda recommend specific herbs, dietary changes, or lifestyle practices to support prostate function and regulate PSA levels? I have read that Gokshura, Shatavari, and Varuna are beneficial for reducing prostate inflammation and improving urinary flow—would these help in naturally maintaining a healthy prostate? Are there any Ayurvedic herbal formulations, detox methods, or therapeutic massages that can help in preventing prostate enlargement and promoting prostate wellness? Since I prefer natural prostate care, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can improve urinary health, reduce inflammation, and support long-term prostate function naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on the PSA test, its significance, and Ayurvedic approaches to maintaining prostate health.
