Can a doctor refer a woman for a PSA test?

I have a question, I'm a woman, I got a referral for a test from an internist
Total PSA And if I search on the internet, it is a prostate test for men, not for women, is there a possibility that there is also such a test for women?

There are scientific reports informing about the possibility of PSA determination in the case of some hormone-dependent diseases in women, but I suggest that you determine with your doctor the reason why such a test was ordered.

The original article is available on the website of Via Medica Journals (title: Prostate-specific antigen - PSA in women).

In case of any doubts, I encourage you to buy a teleconsultation with an internist:
