Prostate Specific Antigen (Free) PSA near me in Guntur










The Prostate Specific Antigen (Free) PSA test is a blood test that measures the levels of unbound or free prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a tumor marker for prostate cancer. It helps in distinguishing prostate cancer from other benign prostate-related conditions such as prostate inflammation and an enlarged prostate. This test is widely available in Guntur at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs.
Consider getting tested if you have symptoms such as difficulty in passing urine, straining or taking a long time while urinating, terminal dribbling, passing urine more frequently than usual, especially during the night, or blood in the urine. This test is also recommended for men over the age of 50 and for those at high risk due to factors such as a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors like a high-fat diet. A few special preparations need to be considered before getting tested with the Prostate Specific Antigen (Free) PSA test.








What does Prostate Specific Antigen (Free) PSA measure?
The Prostate Specific Antigen (Free) PSA test measures the level of free prostate-specific antigen in the blood. PSA, a protein produced by prostate gland cells, circulates through the body in two ways: bound to other proteins or on its own. PSA circulating unbound in the blood is called free PSA. The total PSA test measures the total of both bound and free PSA, while the free PSA measures the level of unbound PSA alone.
Free PSA levels in the blood get affected in conditions affecting prostate health, such as prostate enlargement (benign prostatic enlargement or BPH) and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer does not show any symptoms in its early stages but may be fatal as it progresses to its advanced stages. Therefore, a free PSA test, along with other tests like total PSA, can be used as an early diagnosis and primary screening test for prostate health.
