Do I need it?
Yes!
I If you are a man aged 40 or older, it's a good idea to consider regular prostate health checks. Early detection of potential prostate issues allows for timely intervention, helping to manage your health and wellbeing.
Why choose this test over other common PSA tests?
Traditional PSA tests can sometimes show elevated levels due to conditions such as age-related enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), infections, or prostatitis, which do not necessarily indicate prostate cancer. Additionally, some types of prostate cancer may not affect PSA levels.
Our test combines clinical data, PSA levels, protein markers, and genetic markers associated with prostate health, offering a more detailed and comprehensive approach to prostate cancer detection.
An accurate, fast indicator of cancer means:
1. If the test suggests a low likelihood of cancer, it can provide reassurance and help you avoid the uncertainty of long hospital waiting lists. It may also reduce the need for further invasive procedures or imaging.
2. If the test suggests a higher likelihood of cancer, early intervention can guide prompt further investigations, such as MRI scans or biopsies, which can assist in making informed decisions about your health.
What does the package entail?
1. Bladder scan
2. Uroflowmetry
3. Digital Rectal Examination (optional)
4. Proclarix/Stockholm 3/PSA blood test
5. All tests are performed and include a medical consultation by a urology specialist.
Results will be available within 1-2 weeks.
Cost: £1,200

In depth information on the prostate
The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that plays a key role in male reproductive health.
It produces fluid that nourishes and transports sperm, and aids in the expulsion of semen during ejaculation. The prostate also contributes to regulating male hormones, including testosterone.
Issues with the prostate can lead to symptoms such as poor urinary control, incontinence, dribbling, and potentially prostate cancer. While prostate cancer can be fatal, early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and positive outcomes.
An abnormal prostate may result in raised PSA levels, which can indicate a variety of conditions, including prostate cancer. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and a PSA test measures the level of this protein in the blood.
Here's how it's used:
1. Detecting Cancer: High PSA levels might suggest cancer but can also be due to other prostate issues.
2. Monitoring: Doctors use the test to see how cancer treatment is working and if the cancer comes back.
3. Early Warning: Sometimes, a rise in PSA levels can alert doctors to cancer early on.
The PSA test, while commonly used, has limitations and may not always provide a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. Additional tests such as the Advanced Stockholm 3 test, physical exams, or biopsies may be needed for further clarity.
While the prostate plays a critical role in men's health, prostate health care often receives less attention compared to other conditions. In the UK, men over 50 can discuss the PSA test with their NHS GP, based on personal risk factors and symptoms, though it's not automatically offered to everyone.
It's important to consider regular testing and consultation with a medical professional to better understand your prostate health.
How can MansMatters help?
At MansMatters, we specialise in men's health and have pioneered the most comprehensive Prostate Test – The Ultimate Prostate Health Check, of any clinic in the UK.

The Leading Edge Prostate Health Check is non-invasive and includes a one-to-one consultation with a prostate urology specialist. It involves IPS and SCHIM (*SHIM) scoring, a series of advanced male-specific blood tests (including PSA free and PSA total tests), and, depending on the initial results, may include the Stockholm 3 or Proclarix tests.
We assess three different PSA proteins and over 100 genetic markers.
Additionally, we evaluate all aspects of urination and retention, and perform a digital rectal examination to check prostate texture and identify any nodules that may require further investigation. If the test results suggest a low likelihood of prostate cancer, it can offer peace of mind. If further testing is needed, early intervention is possible.
This Prostate Health Check is completed in less than an hour, with results available within 1-2 weeks.
