Prostate Health
(Male)

The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum, playing a vital role in male reproductive health. It contributes to the production of seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm, supporting fertility and sexual function. While essential, the prostate is also susceptible to a range of conditions, particularly as men age, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis (inflammation), and prostate cancer.

Many prostate conditions develop silently in their early stages, often without noticeable symptoms. This makes regular prostate monitoring essential, especially for men over 40, those with a family history of prostate disease, or men with other risk factors. Early detection of prostate issues can significantly improve treatment outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, and help maintain urinary and reproductive health.

At Fortress Clinical Laboratory, our Prostate Health Blood Test checks key prostate markers. By analysing specific biomarkers, your doctor can evaluate prostate function and detect early signs of disease. It can also help distinguish between benign conditions and those that require further investigation, such as prostate cancer.

Your doctor may recommend this test if you have frequent, urgent, or difficult urination. Other signs include weak or interrupted urine flow, pelvic or lower back discomfort, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, or changes in urinary habits. Early detection allows your healthcare provider to act promptly, which may include lifestyle adjustments, further diagnostic tests, or specialist referral.
