The tests are affordable to ensure that everyone can benefit from them. The samples are analyzed on fully automated machines that have the latest technology, making the reports reliable and accurate.

There are chances of false positive results in the PSA test. The reasons are:
- Sex in the last 48 hours
- Masturbation in the last 48 hours
- Insertion of a urinary catheter
- Anal sex in the last 48 hours
- Rectal examination
The test might miss out on detecting approximately 15% of cancers. Also, 3 in 4 men who have high PSA levels might not develop prostate cancer.
Test Necessity
The Prostate-Specific Antigen test is prescribed by doctors to analyze the levels of PSA, as elevated levels are indicative of prostate cancer, benign prostate enlargement, and prostatitis or infection of the prostate gland.
Symptoms of high PSA levels include:
- Frequent urination
- Painful urination
- Pelvic pain
- Backache
The PSA test is important for men who are at risk of developing prostate cancer. The risk factors are:
- Men over the age of 50
- Men who are of African-American origin
- A family history of prostate cancer
- Obesity
The test is also done to monitor the efficiency and improvements due to prostate cancer treatment.
Test Preparation
No special preparations are required for the PSA test. It can be done at any time during the day, without the need to fast.
During the PSA Test
After booking the PSA test, a phlebotomist will arrive to collect the blood sample. The phlebotomists use sterilized needles and gloves, and the entire process is hygienic. The vein finder device reduces discomfort as it finds the best vein to draw blood from. The blood samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then safely transported to the laboratory for analysis.
