Regular prostate checks are a vital part of maintaining men’s health, especially as you age. The prostate can change over time, and early detection of any issues—such as enlargement, inflammation, or signs of cancer—can make a significant difference.
Signs to watch out for:
- Blood in urine or semen
- Needing to urinate more than usual
- A weak urine flow / taking a long time to urinate
- Feeling like you haven’t emptied your bladder fully (or being unable to)
- Difficulty in starting to urinate
The PSA test (Prostate-Specific Antigen test) is a simple blood test, widely used and a trusted blood test for monitoring prostate health and screening for prostate cancer. It measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland, which can rise due to various conditions—including benign enlargement, inflammation, or prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in the UK, with over 52,000 new cases each year, making early detection especially important. While an elevated PSA level doesn’t always indicate cancer, it can be an early sign that further investigation is needed.
