About this test
The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test is a simple blood test used to measure the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland. It is an important tool for screening and monitoring prostate health, including conditions such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis.
PSA levels can rise for different reasons. While elevated PSA may be associated with prostate cancer, it can also be caused by noncancerous conditions like prostate enlargement or inflammation. For this reason, PSA testing is best used as part of an ongoing health evaluation rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
This test helps establish a baseline, track changes over time, and support early detection—when treatment options are often most effective.
What Is Included In This Test?
This test measures Total PSA, which reflects the overall amount of prostate-specific antigen in the blood.
What Total PSA Can Indicate:
- Lower PSA levels are generally associated with healthy prostate function
- Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, or an increased risk of prostate cancer
Total PSA testing is commonly used for initial screening and long-term monitoring. If results fall into a borderline range (typically between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL), additional testing, such as a PSA Free-to-Total Ratio (opens in a new tab), may be recommended to better assess cancer risk and determine next steps.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The PSA test is recommended for adult men (born male at birth) who want to take a proactive approach to prostate health.
You should consider this test if you:
- Are 50 years or older, or younger with risk factors
- Have a family history of prostate cancer
- Are experiencing urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating or frequent urination
- Want a baseline PSA level for future comparison
- Are monitoring known prostate conditions like BPH or prostatitis
- Want early insight into prostate health before symptoms appear
This test does not diagnose prostate cancer on its own, but it plays a key role in early detection, risk assessment, and informed decision-making.
Taking a PSA test is a simple step that can provide valuable insight into your prostate health and support early intervention when it matters most.

Can women take a PSA test?
No. The PSA test is not intended for biological women. Prostate-specific antigen is produced by the prostate gland, which biological women do not have. As a result, this test is only appropriate for biological men and should not be used for female health screening.
Does a PSA test diagnose prostate cancer?
A PSA test does not diagnose prostate cancer on its own. Elevated levels can be caused by noncancerous conditions, and further evaluation is often needed to determine the cause.
Will anyone see my results besides me?
Your results are stored in your secure online account. They are not shared with anyone else. If you choose, you can print or download them to share with your own doctor.
Do I need to fast before this test?
Fasting is not required for this panel. You can eat and drink normally unless your doctor has given you other instructions.
Can I talk to someone about my results?
Yes. If your results come back abnormal or if you simply have questions, our team is here to support you. You can text our Patient Services team at 1800-579-3914, anytime between 8am and 8pm.
Can I use insurance to pay for this test?
In order to ensure your privacy, we do not bill insurance directly, but you may use HSA or FSA funds. This keeps your results and testing completely private from insurers. We can also provide you with an itemized receipt for insurance reimbursement purposes if you need it.
What type of sample is required for this test?
This test requires a simple blood draw. No urine samples, swabs, or physical exams are involved.
How is this test different from a PSA, Free: Total Ratio Test?
This total PSA test measures the overall PSA level, while the PSA free-to-total ratio test (opens in a new tab) helps determine whether an elevated PSA is more likely due to prostate cancer or a benign condition.
