Have I got PC?
As there are often no signs or indications from self examination, middle aged men should ask their GP for a PSA blood test as part of their regular medical check-ups.
PSA Test
A Prostate Specific Antigen blood test will give the doctor a more positive indication of what, if any, other investigations are required.
