What is a PSA Test?

A PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test measures the level of PSA — a protein produced by the prostate gland — in your blood.

Higher levels can be a sign of prostate inflammation, enlargement, or cancer, but can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions.

Regular PSA testing can help detect potential problems early — often before symptoms appear.

An at-home PSA Rapid Test gives you quick insight into your prostate health, privately and conveniently.
