PSA Price in Bangladesh

What is PSA?

The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test measures the level of PSA in the blood, which can indicate prostate conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, or prostate cancer. It involves a simple blood draw, usually from the arm.

No special preparation is needed, but avoiding ejaculation 24-48 hours before the test may help. Risks are minimal but can include bruising or mild pain at the needle site.

Results are interpreted based on age and PSA levels, with higher levels potentially signaling a prostate issue, though not definitive for cancer. Other factors, like infections or recent procedures, can affect results.

What to expect & how to prepare

PSA is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your PSA result rather than self-diagnosing.
