About this product
The PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) Test is a screening test that can help detect signs of prostate cancer in the blood. A raised PSA level may occur due to non-cancerous (benign) enlargement or inflammation of the prostate. These conditions will require further specialist investigations.
We recommend that you use this at home PSA test kit if:
- You are over the age of 50
- You have a strong family history of prostate cancer
- You are experiencing symptoms related to prostate cancer
Prostate Cancer affects 41,000 men every year across the UK. It often presents with no symptoms in the early stages. If you have any concerns about prostate cancer, you should always talk to your doctor or regular GP.

How to take your home blood test
” Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is an important test for men, especially over the age of 50, so as to closely monitor for signs of prostate cancer.
In addition to a simple blood test and regular monitoring, it is very important that patients are also examined by their GP if they are experiencing any lower urinary tract symptoms.
As GPs we understand the hesitation to have your prostate examined but at the same time, as healthcare professionals, we perform prostate examinations daily and often we can reassure patients immediately.
Our at home prostate test, with results in 1-2 days allows anyone to actively monitor and track their PSA at home. “
