Why Patients Choose The Vesey for PSA Blood Test
A PSA blood test measures prostate-specific antigen — a protein produced by the prostate gland. It is the main blood test used to help assess prostate health in men, particularly when investigating urinary symptoms or prostate cancer risk.
PSA is helpful but not a stand-alone diagnosis: levels can be raised by a benign enlarged prostate, a urine infection, recent ejaculation or vigorous exercise, as well as by prostate cancer. Results are always interpreted alongside your age, symptoms and an examination.
What Your PSA Result Means
There is no single ‘normal’ figure — the threshold rises with age. A result above the age-related range, or a PSA that is rising over time, may prompt further assessment such as an MRI or a specialist (urology) referral.
Because several harmless factors raise PSA, a single high reading is often repeated, and you may be advised to avoid ejaculation and strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand.
Who Should Consider a PSA Test?
A PSA test is worth discussing if you are a man over 50 (or over 45 with a family history of prostate cancer, or of Black ethnicity), or if you have urinary symptoms such as a weak stream, frequency or getting up at night.
At The Vesey a PSA test can be arranged without a referral, with a GP available to interpret the result and arrange onward investigation if needed.
