About this test

Maintaining prostate health is crucial for overall wellbeing, especially as men age. The Prostate Health Self-Test offers a proactive approach to monitoring potential issues by measuring Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels in your blood. Here's why tracking PSA levels is important:

  • Age-Related Changes: As men age, the prostate naturally enlarges, potentially increasing PSA levels.
  • Post-Surgery Monitoring: For individuals who have had prostate surgery, monitoring PSA levels helps verify the success of the procedure and detect any recurrence.
  • Potential Pathologies: Elevated PSA levels may indicate conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer.

The prostate, a small gland below the bladder, is essential for producing part of semen. Changes due to aging or other factors may need medical attention. This test allows for early detection of such changes, enabling timely intervention and better management of prostate health.

Who Should Monitor Their Prostate Health?

  • Men Over 50: Prostate issues become more prevalent with age, so regular monitoring is recommended starting around this age.
  • Family History: Those with a family history of prostate conditions should be more vigilant with testing due to increased risk.
  • Experiencing Symptoms: Symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty urinating, discomfort, or blood in the urine indicate a need for regular testing.
  • Risk Factors: Men with risk factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, or obesity should also keep a close watch on their prostate health.
