A simple blood test just to look at the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).
PSA is produced naturally by the prostate, and levels can increase as the prostate gets larger with age.
A raised PSA does not necessarily mean prostate cancer. It can also be associated with an enlarged prostate, inflammation or infection of the prostate, and other factors. However, a PSA test can be an important first step in identifying whether further assessment may be appropriate.
Who might consider a PSA test?
You may wish to discuss PSA testing with a healthcare professional if:
You are concerned about your prostate health
You are over 50
You have a family history of prostate cancer
You have noticed changes in your urinary symptoms
You would like to understand your individual prostate health risk
People at higher risk may wish to discuss PSA testing from an earlier age. Prostate Cancer UK recommends speaking to a healthcare professional about risk from around age 45 if you are Black or have a family history of prostate cancer.
What does the test involve?
The PSA test is a straightforward blood test. No fasting is normally required.
For the most reliable result, we recommend avoiding ejaculation and vigorous exercise, including cycling, for 48 hours before your test. A recent urine infection or certain prostate procedures can also temporarily increase PSA levels.
