PSA Blood Test (Prostate)

What Is The PSA Test?

PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland
The PSA test is a simple blood test that measures the level of PSA in the blood
Higher PSA levels can be a sign of prostate cancer or other prostate issues
Why Get A PSA Test?

The PSA test can help detect prostate cancer early when it is most treatable
Prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages
For many men, knowing their PSA level provides reassurance about their prostate
health
Who Should Get Tested, And When?

Everyone born with a prostate (men and transgender women) should understand
their personal prostate cancer risk and when to get a baseline PSA blood test
Men of African descent, military personnel/Veterans, and those with a family
history of cancer should consider having a PSA test done at age 40
Other men should discuss PSA testing with their doctor at age 45
Is The PSA Test Perfect?

No test is perfect, but the PSA test is currently the best prostate cancer screening tool
Some men with prostate cancer have normal PSA levels
Some men with elevated PSA levels do not have cancer
How Is Prostate Cancer Diagnosed?

Prostate cancer can only be diagnosed with a biopsy
The prostate biopsy is then examined under a microscope by a trained pathologist

A diagnosis is made or ruled out based on several factors, including the results of the biopsy.

Let’s talk Perimenopause:

Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, with fluctuating hormone levels and changes in the menstrual cycle. It's a natural process that can last for several years as the ovaries gradually stop producing eggs and estrogen levels decline.

Key aspects of perimenopause:
Hormonal Changes:

The biggest change is the fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone, hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle.
Menstrual Cycle Changes:
Periods may become irregular, heavier, or lighter, and the cycle length can vary. Some women may experience longer or shorter cycles, or even skipped periods.
Symptoms:

Perimenopause can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and changes in libido.

Perimenopause can last for a few months to several years, with an average duration of three to four years.

While it can begin in some women in their 30s, it most often starts in women aged 40 to 44.

The experience of perimenopause varies greatly from woman to woman.
