Prostate health
Private PSA testing
Prostate specific antigen test — near me
The PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test is one of the most important health checks available to men. At The Doctor's Lounge we offer fast, private PSA testing with results reviewed personally by one of our GPs — ensuring you understand what your result means and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
The test
What is a PSA test?
A PSA test is a simple blood test that measures the level of Prostate Specific Antigen in your blood. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels can indicate a range of conditions including prostate enlargement, prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), or prostate cancer. It is an important screening tool for men — particularly those over 45 or with a family history of prostate conditions.
Your results
What does a PSA test tell us?
A PSA result needs to be interpreted carefully in the context of your age, symptoms, and personal and family history. Our GPs will review your result in full, explain what it means, and advise on any further investigations or monitoring needed. A raised PSA does not necessarily mean cancer — but it does warrant careful assessment.
Indications
When would you need a PSA test?
- Men over 45 as part of routine health screening
- Family history of prostate cancer
- Urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, urgency, or frequency
