PSA or prostate specific antigen is a protein made by healthy cells in the prostate — a small gland that sits below the bladder in males. As you get older, your prostate gets bigger, and it’s normal to see your PSA level gradually increase over time. However, prostate cancer can also cause PSA levels to increase, so measuring PSA can be a useful screening tool.

This at-home test measures your PSA level to see if it’s raised. A PSA Blood Test can help pick up prostate cancer before symptoms develop, and may detect a fast-growing cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective. Regular testing can be useful if you’re at increased risk, such as if you have a family history of the condition. And if you’ve already been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you can monitor your level with regular PSA tests.

If your PSA level is raised, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. There are many other reasons why you may have a raised PSA level.

A PSA blood test is just a first step, and if your result is only slightly raised, we suggest you share these readings with your doctor who may suggest repeating the test in a few weeks. If your PSA level is repeatedly raised, or if you have other signs and symptoms of prostate cancer, such as needing to urinate more often, you may be referred to a specialist for further tests. 

Not all prostate cancer is aggressive and, in some cases, might not need treatment.
