What can I expect from this Prostate Profile?
Please note that a PSA test cannot be relied on to either diagnose prostate cancer - or exclude the presence of prostate cancer. If it is high then you will need further investigations with a Urologist. If you have symptoms and it is low you will still need to see a doctor to consider further investigations.
The prostate produces a fluid that mixes with s***m to make semen. Issues with the prostate are common particularly as men get older and can lead to serious conditions such as prostate cancer if undiagnosed.
There are many types of hormones that support different bodily functions and processes including growth, metabolism, appetite and fertility. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies may be to blame for a wide range of symptoms and conditions. This test will test for the main 3 biomarkers which include total prostate specific antigen, free prostate specific antigen and free total psa ratio.
Prostate specific Antigen (PSA) levels vary with age. A total PSA level higher than 10.0 µg/L can indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer. This test can be taken to help investigate a diagnosis of prostate cancer and monitor a patientās response to medication. A high PSA result may be due to many factors such as age, ethnicity, family history and prostate size. RRP Ā£79
