When you mention level 23,it might refer to the PSA ( prostate specific antigen ) level,which is a blood test often used to assess prostate health. A PSA level of 23 is considered higher than normal and it could be a sign of of prostate cancer or another prostate issue such as an infection or an enlarged prostate.
But the PSA levels alone don't give the full picture. Doctors usually order further tests such as scans and biopsies to determine the exact cause of the elevated PSA and the best treatment plan. It's important to ask your doctor to explain what the next steps are once all your results are known.
