Prostate Health
Many prostate conditions develop silently in their early stages, often without noticeable symptoms. This makes regular prostate monitoring essential, especially for men over 40, those with a family history of prostate disease, or men with other risk factors. Early detection of prostate issues can significantly improve treatment outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and help maintain urinary and reproductive health.
Our Prostate Health Blood Test provides a comprehensive assessment of key prostate markers. By analysing specific biomarkers in your blood, this test helps your doctor evaluate prostate function, detect early signs of disease, and distinguish between benign conditions and those requiring further investigation, such as prostate cancer.
Your doctor may recommend a Prostate Health Test if you experience frequent, urgent, or difficult urination, weak or interrupted urine flow, pelvic, lower back, or groin discomfort, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, or other changes in urinary habits. Identifying early changes in prostate function enables your healthcare provider to implement timely interventions, which may include lifestyle adjustments, further diagnostic imaging, or specialist referral.

Why a PSA test matters
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Measuring it is a simple, widely used way to check prostate health and can help with the earlier detection of prostate problems, including prostate cancer. It's especially relevant for men over 50, or younger men with a family history.
PSA isn't a perfect test — levels can be raised for reasons other than cancer, and not every prostate cancer raises PSA — so your result is always reviewed and explained by a GP, who can advise on what it means and any next steps.

What to know before your appointment
Stay hydrated
Please ensure you are well hydrated prior to your appointment, as being dehydrated may make the blood draw more difficult.
Before your PSA test
Try to avoid vigorous activity, sexual activity and heavy workouts for at least 24 hours before your PSA test. If you have recently had a digital rectal exam (DRE), it's a good idea to wait at least 48 hours before doing the PSA test, as these can temporarily raise your PSA level.
