Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test

$65.00 AUD

Concerned about prostate health, experiencing urinary symptoms, or want proactive screening for optimal men's wellness and to assess your risk of prostate cancer?

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test measures the level of PSA, a protein made by the prostate gland. Higher levels may suggest prostate enlargement, inflammation, or cancer, though they can also rise with age or other prostate conditions. This test may help monitor prostate health and support early detection of problems.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The PSA test, or prostate-specific antigen test, measures a protein your prostate gland naturally produces, acting like a messenger in your bloodstream. Think of PSA as a signal that tells us how your prostate is doing – when PSA levels are normal, it suggests your prostate is functioning well, but when they're elevated, it can indicate issues like prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate, or inflammation that deserve attention.

This simple blood test is particularly valuable for men over 50 (or over 45 if you have risk factors like a family history of prostate cancer or are African American) because it can help screen for prostate cancer and catch potential problems early, when treatment options for prostate cancer are most effective. While an elevated PSA doesn't automatically mean cancer – it could signal several different prostate conditions – it gives your doctor important information to diagnose prostate cancer or determine if further evaluation is needed.

By tracking your PSA levels over time, including total PSA and free PSA, you and your healthcare provider can stay ahead of health issues, monitor elevated PSA levels, and make informed decisions about your care. Remember, understanding the level of PSA in your blood is crucial for early detection of prostate cancer, as abnormal PSA levels can be a sign of prostate cancer or other significant prostate conditions.

Symptoms

Essential for men over 50, those with prostate symptoms, family history of prostate cancer, or anyone needing comprehensive prostate health screening and assessment, including a prostate biopsy if necessary.

Questions

  • PSA is a protein produced by prostate cells; elevated levels can indicate prostate cancer, enlargement, or inflammation, making it useful for prostate health screening.
  • High PSA may indicate prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or other prostate conditions, requiring further evaluation and a PSA screening to determine the cause.
  • Generally recommended starting at age 50 for average-risk men, or age 45 for high-risk men (African American or family history of prostate cancer), to begin PSA screening.).
  • Yes, PSA can be elevated due to benign conditions like BPH, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, or recent prostate procedures, not just cancer.
  • Factors include age, prostate size, recent ejaculation, exercise, prostate procedures, certain medications, and urinary tract infections.
  • Frequency depends on previous results and risk factors, typically every 1-2 years for screening, but your doctor will determine the appropriate schedule.

How to prepare

No special preparation is required for tests such as the PSA screening. Avoid ejaculation, vigorous exercise, and prostate manipulation for 48 hours before the prostate biopsy. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and recent procedures to ensure accurate screening test results.

After the test

Address abnormal PSA through comprehensive urological evaluation, appropriate follow-up testing (possibly including biopsy), lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring. Work with urologists as needed.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show PSA levels compared to age-adjusted normal ranges, which are crucial for interpreting test results. Elevated levels may indicate prostate problems requiring further evaluation, but don't definitively diagnose cancer.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.
