Introduction
Men's health doesn't get enough attention, especially when it comes to cancer. One of the most frequent types of cancer in males is prostate cancer. Early identification is the key to successful treatment. The PSA test is an important tool for finding cancer early. We are one of the top hospitals for cancer treatment in Haryana because we have the most up-to-date diagnostic and treatment facilities at Positron Hospital in Rohtak.
What does a PSA test do?
The PSA test, which stands for Prostate-Specific Antigen, is a blood test that is mostly used to look for prostate cancer. Both healthy and malignant cells in the prostate gland make PSA, a protein. A high level of PSA in the blood may mean that you have prostate cancer, but it can also be high because of non-cancerous disorders such prostatitis or an enlarged prostate (BPH).
What makes the PSA Test so important?
- It helps find prostate cancer early, even before symptoms show up.
- It's a blood test that doesn't hurt and is easy to do.
- It tells doctors to undertake more tests if necessary, including an MRI or biopsy.
- It helps keep an eye on how well treatment is working in people who have previously been diagnosed.
A Silent Threat: Understanding Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and may stay in the prostate gland for years. Some varieties, on the other hand, are aggressive and can spread quickly. Finding the disease early on greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.
- Frequent urination, especially at night, is a common sign of prostate cancer.
- Having trouble starting or ending urination
- Weak stream of urine
- Blood in your pee or semen
- Back, hip, or pelvic pain
- Problems in getting an erection
Don't overlook these signs if you or someone you care about has them. Today, make an appointment for a screening at Positron Hospital in Rohtak.
When Should Men Have a PSA Test?
Age and risk variables should be taken into account when deciding whether or not to get a PSA test:
Men 50 and older should get screened every 1 to 2 years.
Men over 45 who have a family history of prostate cancer.
Men over 40 who are more likely to have it (those of African descent, those with hereditary abnormalities like BRCA1/BRCA2).

There are other types of cancer that affect men besides prostate cancer.
Men can also get these types of cancer, but prostate cancer is the most frequent.
- Testicular cancer usually affects men between the ages of 15 and 35.
- Cancer of the colon and rectum
- Cancer of the bladder
- Lung cancer, especially among smokers
- Cancer of the liver and pancreas
At Positron Hospital, we have screening and diagnostic packages for men over 40 that are designed to find common cancers early.
Is only testing for PSA enough?
The PSA test is a useful tool, but it doesn't give a definite answer. We make sure at Positron Hospital that:
- For accuracy, PSA is used with a digital rectal exam (DRE).
- People with abnormal PSA levels have further imaging and a biopsy done.
- We do genetic tests on people who are at high risk.
Healthy habits can help you avoid prostate cancer.
You can lower your risk of getting cancer by:
- Eating a lot of fruits, veggies, and healthy fats
- Exercise on a regular basis
- Not smoking or drinking too much
How to deal with stress

We have Men's Health Packages that include a PSA test, a physical exam, and consultations, all in one place.
