The health of your prostate gland is crucial, especially as you age. The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland, which is an important marker for the risk of prostate cancer and other prostate conditions.
What Does the Test Do?
This test measures your Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels in the blood, helping to assess the risk of prostate conditions such as prostate cancer. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate health issues, but it’s important to remember that a high result doesn’t always mean you have cancer, and a low result doesn’t rule out other conditions. If you’re experiencing symptoms like back pain, difficulty urinating, or blood in your urine or semen, this test can provide valuable insights that you can discuss with your doctor.
How It Works:
- Collect a small blood sample at home using the kit provided.
- Register your kit online and mail your sample to our lab with prepaid postage.
