What This Test Measures

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) — a key marker for prostate health, used to screen for BPH, prostatitis, and prostate cancer risk, and to monitor men on hormone therapy.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Ranges

Unit: ng/mL

Who Should Consider This Test?

• Men over 40 with no recent prostate health check
• Frequent urination, urgency, weak flow, or incomplete bladder emptying
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pelvic discomfort or lower back pain
• Family history of prostate cancer or BPH
• Starting or currently on TRT — PSA baseline and ongoing monitoring is clinically recommended
• Men seeking a proactive, private prostate health screen without a GP appointment

Are You Experiencing Prostate or Urinary Symptoms You Can't Explain?

Prostate issues are extremely common in men over 40 — yet many go undetected until symptoms become serious. If you recognise any of the following, a PSA test could provide the clarity you need:

• Frequent urination, especially during the night
• Sudden urgency to urinate that’s difficult to control
• Difficulty starting urination or a weak urine flow
• Feeling that your bladder hasn’t fully emptied
• Straining or discomfort when urinating
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pelvic discomfort or lower back pain
• Family history of prostate cancer or BPH
• Starting or currently on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
• No recent prostate health check despite being over 40

What Is PSA and Why Does It Matter?

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels can indicate a range of prostate conditions, including:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — an enlarged prostate that is non-cancerous but causes urinary symptoms
• Prostatitis — inflammation or infection of the prostate
• Prostate cancer risk — elevated PSA may warrant further medical investigation
• Hormonal imbalance — particularly relevant for men on or considering TRT

A raised PSA does not automatically mean cancer — but it is an important signal that should not be ignored. Regular monitoring gives you a baseline and helps detect changes early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an elevated PSA mean I have prostate cancer?
No. Elevated PSA can result from BPH, prostatitis, recent physical activity, or other benign causes. It is a signal for further investigation, not a diagnosis. Your specialist report will explain what your result means and what steps are appropriate.

Should I test PSA before starting TRT?
Yes. Establishing a PSA baseline before starting testosterone replacement therapy is clinically recommended. Ongoing monitoring during TRT is also important, as testosterone can stimulate prostate tissue.

Does the price include the laboratory fee?
Yes. The full laboratory analysis fee is included. You are only responsible for posting your sample to the laboratory.

How long is the kit valid for?
The kit must be used within 12 months of the purchase date.
