PSA Testing
Monitor prostate health with a simple blood test. Early detection saves lives.
About PSA Testing
The PSA test measures a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels may indicate prostate cancer or benign conditions (e.g., enlarged prostate).
What to Know
- No fasting needed: The test requires a standard blood draw.
- Results: Typically available within 3–5 days.
- PSA levels: Normal range varies by age (e.g., <3 ng/mL for men under 50).
Limitations
PSA tests are not definitive. High levels may require further investigation (e.g., biopsy).
Who Should Get Tested?
Men over 50, or those with:
- Family history of prostate cancer.
- Symptoms like frequent urination or pelvic pain.
- African-Caribbean ethnicity (higher risk group).
