Prostate Specific Antigen – PSA Test
Specialist Screen
The PSA Test we offer measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein made only by the prostate gland. Some of it leaks into your blood, but how much depends on your age and the health of your prostate.
The result of a PSA test can provide an indicator of early stage prostate cancer. Some symptoms of prostate do not usually appear until the prostate is large enough to affect the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the penis (urethra). When this happens, you may notice things like, an increased need to pee, straining while you pee, or a feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied. These symptoms should not be ignored, but they do not mean you have prostate cancer.
