What does "Should I come up?" mean?

I heard in the conversation which somebody doorbelled and said " It's me. Should I come up?"
I'm confused with the usage of this structure. I don't really understand why we use "should" here? Is there anyone who can help me?

I need a native speaker to answer.

thanks in advance

It can be a way to make sure that you are not bothering the person who is already up there so it is like asking for permission. There can be another meaning , for example if you know that the person who is up is packing you can ask "Should I come up?'" as in "should I come up and help you or can you come down by yourself?"

    Thank you, but I don't think in this way. In contrast to what you said what we say here is that we just ask a permission to enter the building. We have stayed outside while we are saying this sentence.
