PSA Profile near me in Bangalore

PSA Profile measures the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (both free and total) in the blood and is available at an affordable price in Bangalore with Tata 1mg labs. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is present in semen. It helps with sperm motility during ejaculation in males. Higher-than-normal PSA levels may indicate enlarged or inflamed prostate, urinary tract infection or irritation, or other problems with the prostate gland. 

PSA Profile can also be used to detect and monitor prostate cancer progression and check for cancer recurrence in those who have completed prostate cancer treatment.

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, your doctor may ask you to avoid sexual intercourse for at least 48 hours before your test, as semen release can increase your PSA levels leading to inaccurate results. Also, avoid giving a sample within seven days of the digital rectal examination (DRE) or rectal prostatic ultrasonography.
