What Is a PSA-Total Prostate Specific Antigen Serum Test?

A PSA test is a common blood test used primarily to screen for prostate health issues, most notably prostate cancer. The biological sample required for this test is blood, which is drawn from a vein in your arm. This test helps in the early detection of prostate cancer. It can also indicate the presence of non-cancerous conditions such as an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis).

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.

There is no specific best time of day for a PSA test. However, avoid ejaculation, vigorous exercise like cycling, and digital rectal exams for 48 hours before testing, as these activities can temporarily raise your PSA levels.

No, fasting is not required for a PSA test. You can eat and drink normally before the test, as food intake does not affect PSA levels.

Severe dehydration can make your blood more concentrated, potentially leading to falsely elevated results. It's best to maintain normal hydration before any blood test.

No special diet is needed before a PSA test. However, it's important to inform your doctor about all medications, like finasteride or dutasteride, and supplements you are taking, including biotin, as some can affect PSA test results.
