Test ID: B-202
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.
