What is a PSA test?
A PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a simple blood test that helps assess your prostate health and detect early signs of potential problems.
The PSA test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen, a protein made by the prostate, in your blood. Higher levels can indicate inflammation or enlargement of the prostate, or, in some cases, prostate cancer. A raised PSA doesn’t always mean cancer, and a normal PSA doesn’t always rule it out. PSA results should be interpreted by a specialist, usually alongside MRI and, if needed, a biopsy.
What does a raised PSA test mean?
Your PSA result is one part of a bigger picture. Factors such as age, prostate size, and recent infections can all affect PSA levels. Our specialists interpret your results in context, explaining what they mean and whether any further investigation is needed - giving you clarity and peace of mind.
Do I need a PSA test?
If you’re over 50, have a family history of prostate cancer, or are experiencing urinary symptoms, a PSA test can be a useful first step. It’s quick, straightforward and can help detect changes early – sometimes even before symptoms appear.
