Description
Prostate health is a key part of men’s wellbeing, especially as we age. This Prostate Profile Blood Test measures PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) — a protein produced by the prostate gland — which can be elevated in conditions such as prostate enlargement, prostatitis, or prostate cancer.
If you’ve been experiencing urinary changes, pelvic discomfort, or simply want peace of mind as part of your routine health checks, this test offers a quick and reliable way to monitor your prostate health.
It’s particularly recommended for:
-
Men aged 50+
-
Men with a family history of prostate cancer
-
Those experiencing changes in urination
-
Men looking for baseline health screening
You can collect your blood sample at home using the finger-prick kit provided, or for added convenience, book a professional blood draw at our Neath clinic (additional fee applies). Fast, secure online results are typically available within 1–2 working days.

FAQs
What does this test measure?
This test measures Total PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels, which can be used as an indicator of prostate activity and potential prostate-related conditions.
Should I take this test if I have urinary symptoms?
Yes, it’s a good starting point if you’ve noticed a change in urinary flow, frequency, or discomfort. However, always follow up with a GP or specialist for full evaluation if symptoms persist.
Who should consider a PSA test?
Men aged 50 or over, or those with a family history of prostate cancer. It may also be useful as a regular check if you’re monitoring prostate health over time.
How is the sample taken?
You can use the home finger-prick collection kit or book a blood draw at our Neath clinic (additional charge applies).
How quickly will I get my results?
Your results will typically be available within 1–2 working days of your sample reaching the laboratory.
Can raised PSA mean cancer?
Not necessarily. PSA can be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions like prostate enlargement or inflammation. It’s important to discuss your results with a healthcare professional for full interpretation.
