More questions?

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. In fact, it’s now the most diagnosed cancer in the UK. Around 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and it causes over 12,000 deaths each year.

However, when found early, it can often be treated successfully—sometimes without the need for surgery or intensive treatment. That’s why getting checked matters.

Often, no. Most early prostate cancers don’t cause symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can overlap with non-cancerous conditions like an enlarged prostate.

Symptoms that may be linked to more advanced prostate cancer include:

  • Needing to urinate more often, especially at night
  • Difficulty starting or stopping urination
  • Weak or interrupted flow
  • Feeling like your bladder isn’t empty
  • Blood in urine or semen
  • Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend seeing your GP or a specialist instead of using a home PSA test.

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein made by the prostate. The PSA test is a simple blood test that measures the level of PSA in your blood. It’s not a test for cancer, but it can help detect problems early and guide further investigation if needed.

Raised PSA levels may indicate:

  • Prostate cancer
  • A non-cancerous enlarged prostate
  • Prostatitis (inflammation)
  • Or other factors

You may want to consider a test if:

  • You’re aged 50 to 70
  • You’re over 45 and have a first-degree relative (father or brother) who has had prostate cancer
  • You are Black or of Caribbean descent (higher risk group)

PSA testing can help monitor your risk: even if you have no symptoms.

Benefits:

  • Can detect prostate cancer early, before symptoms appear
  • A normal result may offer peace of mind
  • Early detection can improve treatment options and outcomes

Limitations:

  • False positives: PSA may be raised without cancer
  • False reassurance: PSA can be normal even if cancer is present
  • Over-diagnosis: May detect slow-growing cancers that don’t need treatment

A normal PSA result suggests your risk of significant prostate cancer is low, but it’s not a guarantee. Some cancers don’t raise PSA levels.
That’s why it’s a good idea to repeat the test regularly, especially if you’re in a higher risk group.

There are currently no universally agreed guidelines on how often PSA testing should be done. However, repeat testing is generally recommended, as a single result may not provide a complete picture.

If you’re at higher risk, such as having a family history of prostate cancer or a higher risk ethnic group, you may wish to consider testing annually. For others, testing every 1 to 3 years may be reasonable.

Ultimately, how often you choose to test should be based on your individual risk factors, preferences, and a discussion with a healthcare provider.

Medefer will provide recommendations with your results to help guide your next steps.

Do not take the test if any of the following apply:

  • You’ve already been diagnosed with prostate cancer
  • You have a current or recent urine infection (wait at least 6 weeks)
  • You’ve had bladder/prostate surgery or procedures (e.g. catheter, cystoscopy) in the last 6 weeks
  • You’ve ejaculated in the last 48 hours
  • You’ve had anal sex or prostate stimulation in the last 7 days
  • You’ve done vigorous exercise (e.g. cycling) in the last 48 hours

You’ll be asked to confirm none of these apply before ordering your test.

When you order, we’ll ask if you’re taking any prostate-related medications. Our expert team will interpret your results accordingly and may adjust the PSA threshold used to assess your risk.

Receive your kit:
Your self-test kit will be delivered by post, with full instructions.

Collect & return:
Collect your blood sample and send it back to our lab in the prepaid packaging.

Get your results:
Once your sample reaches the lab, you’ll usually get results within 2 working days.
What happens after I get my results?

An MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) gives a detailed picture of your prostate and helps detect or rule out cancer.

If your PSA is raised: An MRI may be the next step, usually arranged via your GP referring you to a specialist service at the Hospital.

You can choose to access this privately (at additional cost), and we can support this process
We will help guide you with clear advice and a plan, whatever path you choose.

If your PSA is normal:

  • You’ll receive an email with your result
  • We’ll give you advice on repeat testing
  • You may get a follow-up call if needed (based on your questionnaire)

If your PSA is raised:

  • A Urology Nurse Specialist will contact you within 48 hours
  • You’ll receive a written care plan
  • We can send a summary letter to your GP if requested
  • We’ll help guide your next steps and explain your options—NHS or private
