PRIMA Prostate PSA Home Test Self-test for the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in whole blood samples Contents: 1 test PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA) Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland and its function is to thin the ejaculate and allow better sperm motility. This protein also plays a role in breaking up cervical mucus and facilitating sperm entry into the uterus. PSA is normally present in small amounts in the blood of men with a healthy prostate. Prostate diseases (such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and cancer) lead to an increase in PSA levels in the blood. A physiological increase also occurs with age, after prostate surgery, and following certain diagnostic tests. WHO IS THE TEST FOR? The prostate PSA test is used as a regular screening test for men over 45 years of age or for men with urinary tract problems. The most common symptoms of a possible prostate condition include difficulty urinating, pain, and increased urinary frequency. Regular monitoring of PSA levels in the blood is advisable to check the health of the prostate: In the case of possible prostate cancer, early diagnosis and proper prevention can save lives.
