🔬 What Is a PSA Test?
The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a simple blood test that measures the level of PSA in your bloodstream. Elevated PSA levels can signal:
- Prostate cancer (early or advanced stages)
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostatitis (infection or inflammation)
It’s most commonly recommended for men over 50 or anyone experiencing urological symptoms.
📍 Where to Get a Private PSA Test in the UK
You can book a PSA test through private hospitals or diagnostic providers, including:
- Spire Healthcare
- Nuffield Health
- Medichecks (for at-home test kits)
💷 How Much Does a PSA Test Cost Privately?
- Standalone PSA blood test: £70 – £130
- Men’s health screening (includes PSA): £180 – £400

Most clinics return results in 1–3 days, with optional same-day or courier lab services.
