Book Your FREE PSA Blood Test

Take A Moment For Your Prostate Health

Prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages. Understanding your risk and knowing your testing options can help you make an informed decision about your health.

As part of our prostate health initiative with Shelford Rugby Club, Momentm Health is offering free PSA blood tests at our clinic in Great Shelford, Cambridge.

Read about the test below, and use our booking calendar to choose your appointment.

What is a PSA blood test?

A PSA test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate, in your blood.

A raised PSA level can indicate a problem with the prostate, but it does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Other causes include an enlarged prostate, inflammation or infection.

The test involves taking a small blood sample from your arm. Your result needs to be considered alongside factors such as your age, symptoms and medical history.

Who Is At Greater Risk?

Men aged 50 or over

Men aged 50 or over

Prostate cancer mainly affects men aged 50 and over, with the risk increasing as you get older.

Family history

Men with a family history of prostate cancer

Your risk is higher if your father or brother has had prostate cancer.

Black men

Black men

Black men have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.

Inherited gene changes

Inherited gene changes

Certain inherited gene changes, particularly in the BRCA2 gene, can increase your risk. If you know you carry one, discuss this with your GP.

Symptoms to speak to your GP about

Changes to look out for include:

- Needing to pass urine more often, particularly at night.

- Difficulty starting to urinate.

- A weak or interrupted urine flow.

- Feeling that your bladder has not fully emptied.

- Blood in your urine or semen.

- Difficulty getting or keeping an erection.

These symptoms can have several causes, including non-cancerous prostate conditions. If you notice changes, speak to your GP rather than waiting for your free test appointment. You should still seek advice if your PSA result is within the expected range.

Preparing for your PSA test

Some activities and health conditions can temporarily increase your PSA level and affect your result.

For 48 hours before your test, avoid:

- Ejaculation

- Anal sex

- Cycling

- Vigorous exercise

You can eat and drink normally before the test.

If you have a current or recent urine infection, contact the clinic before attending, as your test may need to be postponed. Let the team know about any medicines you take and any recent procedures involving your prostate or bladder. Do not stop prescribed medication unless advised by your clinician.

What happens after your test?

Your PSA results will be available within 48 hours and sent to you via secure email. Your result should be considered alongside your age, symptoms and medical history to understand whether further investigation is needed.

If your PSA level is raised

A raised PSA level does not necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. We advise you to contact your GP to discuss your result and the next steps. If you prefer to explore private care, we can recommend private GPs or urologists you can be referred to.

If further tests are recommended

Further investigation may include a repeat PSA test or a prostate MRI. We offer prostate MRI scans at Momentm Health if recommended as part of your assessment. Further consultations and scans are separate from your free PSA test and may involve additional costs.

If your PSA level is within the expected range

You can share your results with your GP to keep on your NHS records. If you have ongoing symptoms or concerns about your prostate health, speak to your GP even if your result is within the expected range as this does not completely rule out prostate cancer.

Fast Access to Diagnostics

Prostate MRI at Momentm Health

A prostate MRI produces detailed images of the prostate. It can help clinicians identify areas that may need closer investigation and decide whether a biopsy is needed.

MRI is often used as part of the assessment when prostate cancer is suspected. It does not always provide a definite diagnosis on its own.

At Momentm Health, we offer prostate MRI scans at our Cambridge clinic. If further investigation is recommended, contact our team to find out more about the service.

Prostate MRI is a separate service and is not included in this free PSA test offer.

Ultrasound Scans

We offer a range of ultrasound scans, including abdominal, pelvic and testicular scans, alongside assessments of hernias, soft tissue lumps, muscles and joints.

No GP referral required, with results available on the same day.

DXA Scans

Get a clearer picture of your bone density or body composition with DXA scans that assess bone health or measure body fat and muscle mass.

No GP referral required, with results available within 72 hours. A FRAX questionnaire may be required before booking a bone density scan.

One last thing...

A PSA test can help identify prostate cancer before symptoms develop. However, it is important to understand what it can and cannot tell you.

A raised result does not always mean cancer. Other prostate conditions can increase PSA levels.

A result within the expected range does not rule out cancer. Some prostate cancers do not cause a raised PSA level.

Testing can lead to further investigations. These may include repeat blood tests, an MRI scan or a biopsy.

Some cancers found through testing may never cause problems. Finding these can lead to difficult decisions about monitoring or treatment.

If you are unsure whether PSA testing is right for you, you can speak to our team or another healthcare professional about your individual risk and the possible benefits and disadvantages.
