It can be difficult to assess the health of your prostate. However, in many cases, the sooner that issues are detected, the more effective the treatment is likely to be. While prostate problems tend to become more common with age, they can still affect younger men in some instances. This prostate health home test kit is a quick and simple way to check for specific markers known to be associated with an enlarged prostate gland and inflammation and may even serve as an early indicator of prostate cancer, currently the number one cancer in men aged 50 and over. The Science Behind the Test This home test kit measures Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). PSA is a protein that is produced by cells of the prostate gland, but the levels produced by healthy cells normally fall within a recognised range. Higher-than-normal PSA levels are recognised as a sign of potential prostate issues, which then warrants further, more detailed investigation by a medical professional. Home Testing for Privacy & Discretion Discussing potential prostate problems isn't always easy. As a result, a PSA home test kit can be a quick, cost-effective and discreet way to check your prostate health. This test kit can also be an excellent way of monitoring an organ that often shows no signs of distress. Used as part of your routine health check, you'll be ideally-positioned to identify any abnormal PSA levels and to seek appropriate advice in good time. Results in Minutes This simple finger-prick test includes everything necessary apart from a watch to monitor time. Simply draw a drop of blood using the included sterile lancet, place it onto the test cassette and wait exactly 10 minutes for the lines to appear. The results are clear and easy to interpret. After testing, the whole PSA home test kit can be safely disposed of in your household waste.
