A PSA test measures free and total prostate-specific antigen. Men often consider it as part of a routine check, or when symptoms such as frequent urination, nighttime urination or pelvic discomfort appear.
The result does not diagnose any condition by itself. It is one data point that a doctor reads together with age, symptoms and history.
Some men book PSA on its own. Others prefer a complete men's health panel that includes prostate markers next to blood sugar, lipids, organ function and hormones.
