What Is PSA and Why Every Man Over 40 Should Know About It
PSA stands for Prostate-Specific Antigen — a protein made by the prostate gland, which can be measured through a simple blood test.
Small amounts of PSA in your blood are normal. However, higher-than-expected levels can be an early sign of:
- Prostate inflammation (prostatitis)
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – an enlarged prostate
- Prostate cancer

Why Is PSA Testing Important?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, especially over the age of 50.
It often has no symptoms in the early stages, which is why testing is key.
Early detection can make a life-saving difference, especially if caught before it spreads.

What PSA Levels Mean
| PSA Result (ng/mL) | Possible Indication |
| 0–4 | Generally normal for most men |
| 4–10 | Possible enlarged prostate or inflammation |
| 10+ | Further investigation often required |
Important: PSA isn’t a cancer diagnosis on its own — it’s a screening tool. Elevated levels require follow-up or specialist referral, which we can arrange.
Who Should Get a PSA Test?
You should consider PSA testing if you are:
- Over 40 (especially with family history of prostate cancer)
- Experiencing frequent urination, especially at night
- Having difficulty starting or stopping urine flow
- Feeling pain in the lower back or pelvis
- Wanting to take a proactive health approach
We recommend annual testing starting from age 45–50, or earlier if you’re in a high-risk group.
