If a person has a low PSA can you attribute this to any particular factor or factors? In other words are there any medical reasons for a low PSA? A friend told me that there has to be mitigating factors for this low score.

Hi Coolfox-
I couldn't find much good information on whether or not a PSA level can be too low, so I forwarded it to Dr. Jay Motola to get his thoughts on the matter. I'll let you know when we have his response!

You don't say how low your PSA is, but here are some articles written by Health Central's resident experts, Dr's Motola and Greenstein that talk about PSA numbers and what they mean. Also, here is a good overview of the prostate and PSA tests that might help you understand what they are used for.
Hope this helps! Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
