PSA Blood Test

Attend your appointment and one of our experienced nurses or phlebotomists will collect your blood sample. If your test also includes another sample, such as urine or stool, we will provide the necessary collection kit and clear instructions.

Results are typically available within Same day. Some individual markers may take longer if they require specialist laboratory processing. We will normally wait until the full profile is complete before issuing your reviewed results.

This test may be particularly useful for: Urinary symptoms; Family history of prostate cancer; Prostate health check.

This test is commonly chosen when investigating: Frequent urination; Poor urinary flow; Nocturia; Prostate concerns. Blood tests are only one part of an assessment, and results should be considered alongside your symptoms and medical history.

This test may help assess or investigate: Raised PSA; Benign prostate enlargement; Prostate inflammation; Prostate cancer (requires further assessment). An abnormal result does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis, but it may help guide further assessment.

This profile includes: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA).

For the most accurate result, avoid ejaculation and prolonged pressure on the prostate (such as cycling, rowing, horse riding or similar seated exercise) for 48 hours beforehand if possible.

If you have a urine infection, urinary symptoms, or have recently had a prostate procedure or catheter, please let us know, as your test may need to be postponed.
