Why Get Tested
A PSA test measures the level of Prostate-Specific Antigen in the blood and can help to identify prostate problems including prostate cancer.
It's normal to have a small amount of PSA in your blood, it is also normal for these levels to increase as you get older, and the prostate gets bigger.
Higher than normal levels of PSA may indicate a problem with your prostate, however, doesn't necessarily indicate prostate cancer. PSA levels can be raised because of prostatitis, an enlarged prostate, vigorous exercise, or urinary tract infection (UTI).
A PSA test can help to identify prostate problems including prostate cancer before you have any symptoms. Common symptoms can include;
- difficulty emptying your bladder or a feeling your bladder hasn't emptied properly
- weak flow or difficulty starting to urinate
- needing to urinate more often especially during the night
- blood in the urine
- back, hip or pelvis pain
A regular PSA test may also be helpful if you are at increased risk of prostate cancer. You can find out more about your risk of prostate cancer with our Genetic Prostate Cancer Risk Test.
