The PSA test is not very accurate, and there are chances of false positive results. The results might differ in these cases:
- If you have had sex in the last 48 hours
- If you have masturbated in the last 48 hours
- If you have had a urinary catheter inserted
- If you have had anal sex in the last 48 hours
- If you have had a rectal examination
Reports show that 3 in 4 men who have high PSA levels will not develop prostate cancer. Additionally, the test might miss detecting about 15% of cancers.
Test Necessity
The PSA test is prescribed to measure the levels of PSA in the blood. High levels of PSA indicate prostate cancer, benign prostate enlargement, or prostatitis (infection of the prostate gland).
The test is prescribed for men who have risk factors like:
- Age - men over 50 are more likely to develop prostate cancer
- African-American origin
- Family history of prostate cancer
- Obesity
Some symptoms of high PSA levels are:
- Painful urination
- Frequent urination
- Backache
- Pelvic pain
The test is also done to monitor the efficacy of the prostate cancer treatment.
Test Preparation
The PSA test is a blood test, and fasting is not required. It can be done during any convenient time of the day.
During the PSA Test
Once the PSA test is booked, a phlebotomist arrives at the specified location on the specified date and time to collect the blood sample. They use new sterilized needles, gloves, and a vein finder device to locate the best vein to draw blood from. The entire process is very hygienic, and all safety protocols are followed. The blood samples are stored in barcoded vials and safely transported to the laboratory for analysis.
