Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with around 50,000 men diagnosed annually, meaning that 1 in 8 men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime. Prostate cancer is also described in UK data as the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK, affecting 1 in 9 during their lifetime, with the risk increasing as men age.
When screening is handled professionally, men receive more than a single blood result. At The Doctors Practice, Dr Bik or Dr Rinku can discuss symptoms, family history, age, ethnicity, lifestyle, bladder and urine concerns, and the correct follow-up plan, helping men take control of their prostate health.

Follow up, or regular care, if you need it.
Early Detection: Early-stage prostate cancer often presents no symptoms, while advanced prostate cancer symptoms may include difficulty urinating, blood in urine, and pain in the back, hips, or pelvis.
Peace of Mind: Regular screening provides reassurance and helps monitor prostate health over time, especially when previous PSA results are available for comparison.
Risk Assessment: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, with 6 out of 10 cases being diagnosed in men over the age of 60. Men with a family history, Black ethnicity, or other risk factors may need earlier or closer monitoring.
Treatment Options: Early detection of prostate cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery, making screening an important consideration for at-risk individuals.
Comprehensive Care: A doctor-led appointment helps you decide what your PSA result means, whether further tests are appropriate, and whether referral to Birmingham hospitals or urology services is needed.

PSA Blood Test £150
The process typically begins with a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test, which may be followed by a physical digital rectal examination (DRE), an MRI scan, or a targeted biopsy if initial results are elevated.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by both normal and cancerous prostate cells, and the PSA blood test measures its level in the blood, which is crucial for early detection of prostate cancer. This quick blood test involves taking a blood sample by experienced medical staff, and your result is interpreted in context rather than treated as a yes-or-no cancer diagnosis.
A clinical examination may include a professional digital rectal examination by Dr Bik when appropriate. This physical examination can assess prostate size, texture, tenderness, and any abnormal findings that may lead to further tests.
If your PSA level is above the expected range for your age, or if examination findings raise concerns, your doctor can discuss whether repeat blood testing, urine testing, MRI, biopsy, or specialist referral is the safest next step.
We offer both standard PSA testing and advanced prostate cancer risk assessment, with all results reviewed by an experienced doctor.

As a CQC regulated, doctor-led clinic based in Edgbaston, The Doctors Practice provides a level of expertise and safety that sets us apart from non-medical providers. We serve patients from across Birmingham and surrounding areas including Wolverhampton, Walsall, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield.
At The Doctors Practice, we provide comprehensive assessment and management for a wide range of prostate conditions, not just prostate cancer screening.
Many men experience prostate symptoms as they get older, but these problems are often treatable and manageable with the right medical support. Our experienced doctors offer confidential, evidence-based care tailored to your individual symptoms and concerns.
We assess and support patients with:
PSA Blood Test: Accurate measurement of prostate specific antigen levels in your blood to support early detection and risk assessment.
Medical Consultation: A detailed discussion of your symptoms, concerns, previous results, medication, bladder changes, urine symptoms, and general health with Dr Bik or Dr Rinku.
Risk Assessment: Evaluation of age, family history, ethnicity, personal medical history, and other risk factors because prostate cancer increases with age and is more common in older men.
Clinical Examination: Professional physical assessment when appropriate, including DRE to check prostate size, texture, and abnormalities.
Follow-up Plan: Personalised recommendations for future screening schedule, repeat PSA testing, MRI, referral, or monitoring.
Results Explanation: Clear guidance on what your results mean, including why a raised PSA may be linked to cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH, infection, or inflammation.
Referral Coordination: Seamless referrals to specialists if needed, including urology services and Birmingham hospitals for MRI, biopsy, diagnosis, or treatment planning.
Health Advice: Lifestyle recommendations to help protect prostate health, including weight, exercise, smoking, diet, alcohol, and general preventive care.
Medical Records: Detailed documentation for your ongoing care, helping your GP, consultant, or hospital team follow findings over time.
Support Services: Access to additional resources and information so patients can discuss concerns, decide on next steps, and receive support throughout the procedure.
Dr Bik reviews your medical history, family history, age, ethnicity, medication, and risk factors. This is also the time to discuss symptoms such as difficulty urinating, blood in urine, pelvic pain, bladder changes, or concerns about prostate cancer.
A PSA blood test is performed by our qualified clinical team. PSA testing is recommended for all men over the age of 50, especially those at increased risk of prostate cancer due to family history or other factors.
A clinical examination may be conducted when appropriate. Depending on your symptoms and findings, your doctor may also advise urine testing, repeat PSA testing, MRI, or referral for further tests.
You receive a comprehensive discussion of your results with your doctor. The PSA level is reviewed alongside age, prostate size, symptoms, infection risk, previous PSA trend, and whether benign prostatic hyperplasia could explain the result.
Elevated PSA levels do not confirm cancer. A raised result can lead to further tests such as MRI or biopsy, while a normal PSA does not remove all risk. This is why your results must be interpreted by a doctor who can guide you safely.
Your follow-up plan may include repeat blood tests, monitoring over time, MRI, urology referral, or urgent assessment if the findings suggest a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and early review of abnormal findings can support timely access to effective treatment when needed.
Prostate cancer treatment options include active surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the stage and aggressiveness of the cancer. Active surveillance is often recommended for men with low-risk prostate cancer, allowing men to avoid or delay treatment while monitoring the cancer’s progression. Radiation therapy can be delivered externally or internally, and is commonly used to treat localized prostate cancer or to relieve symptoms in advanced cases.
Prostate screening checks for possible signs of prostate cancer or prostate enlargement before symptoms become serious. It usually involves:
A PSA test is a blood test measuring prostate-specific antigen levels. Higher PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer, but they can also rise due to:
You should speak to a GP if you notice:
In the UK:
There is currently no national prostate cancer screening programme in the UK. Men can still request PSA testing after discussing risks and benefits with a doctor.
