Prostate-specific antigen

£50.00

What will it show you:

The test will tell you the levels of PSA in your blood.  The chance of having prostate cancer goes up as the PSA level goes up, but it can also be a sign of another condition that's not cancer, such as:

  • an enlarged prostate
  • prostatitis
  • urinary infection

    • Feeling like the bladder has not emptied fully

    • Difficulty starting or stopping a stream of urine

    • Visible blood in semen and/or urine

    • Fatigue
