Prostate cancer brings with it symptoms that can alert you to its beginning and progression. If you can catch prostate cancer in the earliest stages, you may not even experience any symptoms. This speaks to the importance of regular screening by your physician. Prostate cancer is very survivable if it is caught and treated during the earliest stages. If you experience any of the symptoms below, set up an appointment with your chosen health care provider.
Some of the symptoms that men might experience, if they have not been yet diagnosed and begun treatment, include a need to frequently urinate, most especially during the night. You may need to get up several times or more over a sleep period, which can require you to sleep longer in order to get the minimum number of restful hours that your body needs to function.

I see no reason why not to have it done. You are a little young, but I think it is good to have a baseline PSA done. If you have other family members who have had prostate cancer, then I would highly recommend it. 24 hours prior to test, do not bike ride, ejaculate, or exercise as these things can affect the results.
My husband was treated for prostate cancer 3 years ago.
