Prostate screening is not as straightforward as you imagine
Read this article and discuss the plan for prostate screening that is right for you with the Marina Medical team.
The routine screening of men who have no symptoms remains controversial.
Below is an option grid which is designed to assist you and your doctor to decide whether screening with PSA blood test is the right thing for you.

What we know for sure is that if you are having any of the following you must see your doctor:
If you have some one in your family who has had prostate cancer then your doctor is likely to suggest starting screening once you are over the age of 40.
If you start doing regular PSA tests then this would usually be done between the ages of 50-70.
Your doctor would look at the PSA level but also at the rate of increase of PSA over time to assist in detecting signs of prostate cancer.
