Prostate Specific Antigen ( PSA Total ) Test Price in Delhi

Prostate-specific antigen is a type of protein that is secreted by the normal and malignant cells of the prostate gland. This gland is located in the male reproductive system of the body. A PSA test is conducted to check the level of PSA in the blood. Usually, doctors recommend a PSA test in Delhi or any other city to diagnose prostate cancer or to check the progression of the disease, in already diagnosed patients.

An Overview of the Prostate Specific Antigen Test

A prostate-specific antigen test in Delhi or any other city is recommended by the doctor to check the PSA level in the blood. High levels of PSA indicate the possibility of developing prostate cancer in men, which is one of the most common non-skin-related cancers found in men. The test results are analysed by the doctor for screening of cancer and its current stage. The PSA test is highly effective in the treatment of this disease as the doctor can figure out the best time to treat it. The growth of prostate cancer is slow in most cases. It is called benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is not a life-threatening condition, does not spread to other organs of the body, and is treatable. However, malignant growth is fast growing and is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate treatment. It can spread to other parts of the body and can be removed by proper medical treatment.

Some of the common symptoms that may require a PSA test to identify the disease are pain while urinating, pressure in the rectum, and difficulty in ejaculation. However, there may be other reasons as well for the elevated PSA level in the blood. One can book a PSA test in Delhi or any other city at Max Lab to get an accurate test report at an affordable price. The cost of medical tests, including the PSA test at Max Lab, is kept economical so that maximum individuals can get access to good healthcare.

When is the PSA Test Prescribed?

A PSA test is recommended for the early detection of prostate cancer. This test measures the level of PSA in the blood of a person. If the PSA level is higher than the normal range, it indicates that the person may be suffering from prostate cancer. However, this test result only tells us about the PSA level and does not confirm prostate cancer. The elevated PSA level may also be caused by other medical conditions. Doctors usually tell the patient to undergo a digital rectal exam along with a PSA test in Delhi or any other city for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. One can book an online test from the Max Lab’s website and opt for home blood sample collection.

The PSA total test is a blood test that measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your bloodstream. This protein is produced by the prostate gland, and an elevated level can indicate a problem with this organ, including cancer.

 

Let your doctor know about any medications or health supplements you're taking as they might affect the outcome of your results. Some drugs can elevate PSA levels while others lower them. Avoid sexual activity at least 24 hours before the test since ejaculation can cause temporary spikes in PSA levels.

 

The Price of PSA Total test in Delhi at Max Lab is Rs.800.

 

The amount of blood needed for a PSA test is relatively small. Generally, only about 2-3 milliliters of blood are required to perform the total PSA test. This may be taken from either arm and is usually drawn by a healthcare professional.

 

You should avoid any vigorous exercise or physical activity for at least 24 hours prior to the test. This is because strenuous activities can increase your PSA levels temporarily and affect the accuracy of your results.

 

There are several risk factors associated with PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing that individuals should be aware of. Age is a major factor as the level of PSA in the blood tends to increase with age. Men who are over 50 years old are at higher risk for elevated PSA levels than younger men.

 

Typically, it takes between two to four business days to receive your results. However, some clinics may offer same-day or next-day testing with rapid turnaround times.
