PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) FREE Test: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. It is estimated that one in every seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by cells in the prostate gland. The PSA test is a blood test that measures the level of PSA in the blood. Elevated levels of PSA can indicate the presence of prostate cancer or other prostate conditions.

Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer often does not show any symptoms in the early stages. However, as the cancer grows, it may cause the following symptoms:
- Difficulty urinating
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Pain or burning during urination
- Painful ejaculation
- Pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or thighs
If you experience any of these symptoms, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
The diagnosis of prostate cancer involves several tests. The PSA test is the first test that is done to check for the level of PSA in the blood. If the PSA level is high, further tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include:
- DRE (Digital Rectal Exam): In this exam, the doctor will insert a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to check for any abnormalities in the prostate gland.
- Prostate Biopsy: In this test, a small sample of tissue is taken from the prostate gland and examined under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells.
- Imaging Tests: Imaging tests such as MRI, CT scan, or bone scan may be done to determine the stage of prostate cancer.
Early detection of prostate cancer is important for successful treatment. If you are over the age of 50, you should talk to your doctor about getting a PSA test done.
