PSA Test
GetTested’s PSA Test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. The prostate gland releases PSA, and typically, healthy men have low PSA levels. These levels generally increase as men age and their prostates enlarge. Conveniently, the PSA Test can be performed at home with a simple finger prick, eliminating the need to visit a health center for sampling.
Additionally, another popular test among men is our Testosterone Test in saliva, which assesses testosterone levels that are crucial for muscle mass, bone density, and overall male health.

What PSA Means for Your Health
PSA, or Prostate-Specific Antigen, is a protein produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. This protein aids in liquefying ejaculation, enhancing sperm mobility, and contributing to the dissolution of cervical mucus. While a certain amount of PSA naturally occurs in a healthy man's blood, conditions such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and cancer can elevate PSA levels. Besides diseases, aging, certain medical procedures, or physical activity can also increase PSA levels.
When and Why to Use GetTested's PSA Test
- If you are a man over 45 looking to regularly check your prostate health.
- If you experience symptoms like pain in the urinary tract, difficulties urinating, or an increase in the frequency of urination.
How to Perform the Test
With our PSA test, you can easily conduct the test at home. Start by preparing the test materials according to the instructions, then prick your finger to collect blood and place it on the test cassette. Within 5 minutes, you can read your result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.
