Coleridge Medical Centre receives many requests from patients requesting a PSA test to check the health of their prostate.
Before these can be carried out, a GP needs to look at all the options with the patient, such as reviewing the symptoms, considering a rectal exam, and discussing the pros and cons of a PSA test with the patient.
The attached leaflet has plenty of information to consider before requesting a PSA test.
If patients wish to, they can also take a very quick test to assess their risk of prostate cancer. This test can be found here:
