Help to put your mind at ease with our at-home PSA test kit. This test measures the level of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) in the blood and can indicate abnormality within the prostate. Over 52,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, with around 1 in 8 men affected in their lifetime. If detected early treatment can be very successful with 8 in 10 men surviving for more than 10 years.

Why should you test

PSA levels rise naturally as men get older. Although levels can be raised in prostate cancer, raised levels may be due to prostatitis, an enlarged prostate, urinary tract infection, vigorous exercise, sexual activity or some medications. Only collect your sample Monday – Thursday (Royal Mail) or Monday – Wednesday (An Post). Return your sample the same day as collection using the prepaid return envelope before noon. Avoid taking your sample on or close to a public holiday.
