Contents: 1 Test

PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA)

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by epithelial cells in the prostate gland. Its primary function is to liquefy semen and enhance sperm motility.

This protein also plays a role in dissolving cervical mucus, facilitating sperm penetration into the uterus. PSA is normally present in low amounts in the blood of healthy men. However, prostate diseases (such as prostatitis, benign prostate hyperplasia - BPH, and prostate cancer) can lead to elevated PSA levels.

Additionally, aging, prostate surgeries, and certain medical examinations can result in a physiological increase in PSA levels.

WHO SHOULD USE THIS TEST?

The PROSTATE PSA TEST is recommended as a regular screening tool for:

• Men over 45 years old
• Men experiencing urinary tract issues

Common Symptoms of Prostate Conditions:

• Difficulty urinating
• Pain or discomfort
• Frequent urge to urinate

Regular PSA level monitoring can help assess prostate health. In cases of potential prostate cancer, early diagnosis and prevention can be life-saving.
