The PSA Test determines the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. PSA is released by the prostate gland, and healthy men typically have low levels. These levels generally increase with age and prostate enlargement. The PSA Test can be conveniently performed at home using a simple finger prick, eliminating the need for a health center visit.
Another widely used test for men is our Saliva Testosterone Test, which measures testosterone levels crucial for muscle mass, bone density, and overall male health.
