The Most Trusted PSA Test with Affordable Cost in Kolkata

A prostate-specific antigen test or a PSA test is used to measure the level of PSA in the bloodstream of a man. PSA is a protein which is produced by the cells of your prostate. A prostate is a small gland present just underneath your bladder. PSA hormone circulates at low levels through your entire body.

A PSA test is a sensitive one. It can detect higher-than-average levels of PSA and high levels of PSA may be associated with prostate cancer even before any physical symptoms appear. However, some noncancerous conditions may also increase your PSA levels resulting in high PSA.

A PSA test is not a stand-alone test. A PSA test in isolation doesn’t provide enough information for your doctor to make a diagnosis. Your doctor however can take the results of a PSA test into consideration while making a decision about whether your symptoms and test results are due to cancer or another condition.

Cost of a PSA blood test in Kolkata starts around Rs. 1500. We, at AccuHealth Diagnostics, Kolkata, offer serum PSA test at an affordable price of Rs. 1300.

The Need for a PSA Test

All men are at risk of prostate cancer, but those who are at higher risk include:

• Older men
• Men with a family history of prostate cancer

A PSA test may also be recommended by your doctor to screen for the early signs of prostate cancer.
Apart from testing for prostate cancer, your doctor may also ask to get a PSA test done for the following reasons:

• To diagnose the cause of a physical abnormality on your prostate found during a physical exam

• If you’ve already been diagnosed with prostate cancer, it will help decide your doctor when can the treatment be started
• To determine how you are responding to your prostate cancer treatment

Preparations Needed for a PSA Test

If your doctor orders a PSA test, you should inform your doctor about any prescription or over-the counter medicines, or vitamins, or supplements that you take on a regular basis. There are certain drugs that may cause the test results to be falsely low.

If your doctor thinks that there is a possibility of your medication interfering with the results, they may decide to request a different test. Your doctor may also ask you to avoid taking your medicine for several days so your results will be more accurate.
