Test Necessity
The PSA test is commonly advised by doctors to screen for prostate cancer especially in high-risk individuals like those with a family history. However, it is also suggested in cases where the individual is showing symptoms that indicate other prostate-related concerns. Common symptoms include increased frequency of urination, a burning sensation during urination, painful ejaculation, blood in urine or semen, and pain in the lower back or pelvic area. A PSA test result serves as a primary level check for prostate-related concerns. In cases of elevated PSA levels in the blood, the doctors often advise additional tests to investigate and determine the cause.
A PSA test is also used to monitor the efficacy of prostate cancer treatment and to check for any recurrence concerns in individuals treated for the condition.
Test Preparation
The PSA test does not require fasting. However, one should avoid ejaculation for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before the test. This is because the release of semen could elevate PSA levels in the bloodstream and affect the test results. Heavy exercise and alcohol consumption are also best avoided for a minimum of 24 hours before the test, as these too influence the PSA level in the blood. It is also advisable to check with your doctor about any ongoing medication schedule that might interfere with the test.
During the PSA Test
The PSA test requires the collection of your blood sample, which is a simple and safe 5 to 10-minute procedure. The PharmEasy rep uses a sealed kit for the sample collection. This sealed kit contains a one-time use and throw equipment. The rep will sanitize his/her hands and then wear a pair of disposable gloves in the kit. A special Vein Finder device helps easily locate a vein in one of your hands, and a sample of your blood is collected through a disposable syringe in a labelled container. The rep will clean the needle puncture with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab and apply a bandage.
