PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Blood Spot Test
Check Prostate Health from Home
Test ID: B-202
The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Blood Spot Test is designed to help assess prostate health and identify potential prostate-related concerns, including enlarged prostate (BPH) and possible prostate abnormalities associated with prostate cancer risk.
This easy-to-use at-home blood spot test measures PSA levels using a simple finger-prick sample collected in the privacy of your home and analysed by our specialist laboratory.
High PSA levels may be linked to:
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostate inflammation
- Rapid prostate cell growth
- Prostate cancer risk
- Hormonal imbalance
- Monitoring before or during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
Monitoring PSA levels before starting testosterone therapy is especially important, as a sudden rise in PSA may indicate an underlying prostate issue that requires further medical investigation.
Who Should Consider a PSA Test?
You may benefit from a PSA test if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Sudden urgency to urinate
- Difficulty starting urination
- Weak urine flow
- Straining during urination
- Feeling the bladder has not emptied fully
- Blood in urine
- Blood in semen
- Ongoing prostate health concerns
- Monitoring prostate health during TRT or hormone therapy
This test may also be suitable for men seeking proactive prostate health screening, particularly over the age of 40.
What Does the PSA Test Measure?
The test measures:
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels can sometimes indicate abnormal prostate activity or rapid prostate tissue growth.
While elevated PSA does not automatically mean prostate cancer, it may signal the need for further medical evaluation.
