Men's HealthAbout this service
A PSA prostate test is a blood test done at Eastgate Clinic in Windhoek that measures prostate specific antigen, a marker your doctor uses to help screen for prostate conditions in men, including enlargement or, in some cases, prostate cancer. This test is often considered for men from a certain age, or sooner if there is a family history or symptoms affecting urination.
A small blood sample is taken in our rooms, and your doctor will interpret the result alongside your history and, where relevant, a physical examination, before discussing any next steps such as further testing or a specialist referral.
