PSA findings

Does anyone here know how to make sense of these PSA results?

over 1.5 goals (I do know that’s a pretty solid number for a 60-year-old)
Free PSA 0.361
free to total 0.238
I’ve been scouring the internet trying to figure out what these two specific values mean so I can explain them to my dad, but I'm coming up empty.
Thanks

Okay, I finally figured it out after digging around for a while.
That 0.238 figure actually translates to 23.8% free PSA relative to the total. Ideally, you'd want that number north of 25%, according to some medical sites I've been browsing. Still, since his total PSA looks great, it probably isn't a major concern.
Anyway, if anyone has more specific insight on this, I’d really appreciate it.

Was the PSA test ordered because of prostate issues?

The PSA test isn't a perfect science, but it’s super common because getting a physical prostate exam is... well, let's just say most guys find going to the doctor for that pretty uncomfortable.

A PSA test isn't a substitute for a digital rectal exam, so there's no avoiding a DRP if there's a potential prostate issue... essentially, PSA and DRP provide different sets of data, but if you really want to waste healthcare resources, you could opt for an ultrasound. Of course, medical protocols exist for a reason: history, clinical examination, and only then radiological or lab tests.
