The Prostate Health Package from Lab Tests Dubai is a comprehensive, men’s health-focused diagnostic paneldesigned to evaluate prostate function, urinary health, and calcium metabolism three key factors in long-term male wellness.

This essential test includes:

• ✅ Total Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) – a vital marker for prostate enlargement (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer
• ✅ Urine Analysis (Routine & Microscopic) – detects UTIs, kidney issues, blood, or infectionlinked to prostate problems
• ✅ Serum Calcium – assesses calcium balance, which impacts prostate health, kidney stones, and bone integrity

This test is essential for:

• Men aged 40+, especially with risk factors
• Those with urinary symptoms (frequent urination, weak stream)
• Individuals with a family history of prostate cancer
• Men on hormone therapy or long-term medications
• Anyone seeking preventive men’s health screening

With results in just 3 days, Lab Tests Dubai empowers urologists and men to detect early changes, rule out serious conditions, and take control of prostate health before symptoms worsen.

Available with home blood and urine collection, this package ensures accurate, private, and stress-free testing so you can protect your health without disruption.

Why You Need This Test

If you’re a man over 40, experience nighttime urination, or have a father or brother with prostate cancer, this test could detect a silent issue before it leads to surgery, infection, or advanced cancer.

You need the Prostate Health Package if:

• You urinate frequently, especially at night (nocturia)
• You have a weak or interrupted urine stream
• You feel incomplete bladder emptying
• You’ve noticed blood in urine or semen
• You suffer from pelvic, lower back, or perineal pain
• You have erectile dysfunction or reduced sexual function
• You’re over 50 or over 40 with a family history

This test helps:

• Detect early prostate cancer through PSA monitoring
• Diagnose BPH (benign enlargement) – common in aging men
• Rule out prostatitis or UTIs
• Assess kidney and bladder health
• Guide treatment decisions (medication, lifestyle, or biopsy)

Early testing  preserved quality of life and peace of mind.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Consider the Prostate Health Package if you experience:

✅ For Prostate & Urinary Issues:

• Frequent or urgent need to urinate
• Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow
• Dribbling after urination
• Pain or burning during urination
• Blood in urine (hematuria) or semen

✅ For Chronic Prostate Conditions:

• Pelvic or lower back pain
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Erectile dysfunction or low libido

✅ For High-Risk Individuals:

• Men over 50 (or over 40 with family history)
• African or Arab descent (higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer)
• Obesity, smoking, or sedentary lifestyle
• History of kidney stones or calcium imbalance

These signs may point to BPH, prostatitis, or cancer and this test helps start the right care.

Natural Production: How the Prostate & Urinary System Work

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that:

• Produces seminal fluid to nourish sperm
• Surrounds the urethra, so enlargement affects urine flow

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein made by the prostate:

• Small amounts enter the bloodstream normally
• Elevated PSA can signal:
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – non-cancerous enlargement
  • Prostatitis – inflammation or infection
  • Prostate Cancer – malignant growth

Calcium plays a role in:

• Muscle contraction (including bladder)
• Cell signaling in prostate tissue
• Kidney stone formation (linked to prostate discomfort)

Urine Analysis checks for:

• Infection (WBCs, nitrites)
• Blood (microscopic hematuria)
• Protein or glucose (kidney stress)

This package gives a complete picture of prostate and urinary health.

What Happens If Untreated? Risks of Ignoring Prostate Health

Ignoring prostate issues can lead to:

⚠️ Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – worsening urinary blockage
⚠️ Acute Urinary Retention – emergency catheterization
⚠️ Recurrent UTIs or Kidney Infections
⚠️ Prostate Cancer – one of the most common cancers in men, but highly treatable if caught early
⚠️ Kidney Damage – from chronic urinary obstruction
⚠️ Sexual Dysfunction & Reduced Quality of Life

The good news? Most prostate conditions are manageable with:

• Medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors)
• Lifestyle changes (diet, hydration, exercise)
• Early cancer detection → high survival rate (99% at 5 years)

Early testing  prevention of complications and hospital visits.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate results:

✅ Avoid ejaculation 48 hours before PSA test (can temporarily raise PSA)
✅ Avoid vigorous cycling or prostate massage 48 hours before
✅ Provide a midstream urine sample (clean-catch method)
✅ Stay hydrated, but don’t overdrink before urine test
✅ Inform your doctor of:

• Current medications (e.g., finasteride, tamsulosin)
• Recent UTIs or prostate procedures

A blood draw (for PSA and calcium) and urine sample are collected available at our labs or via home collection.

Test Overview: 3-Part Prostate Health Panel

• Urine Findings (WBCs, RBCs, bacteria, protein)
• Calcium Level (High = risk of stones; Low = muscle/bone issues)
• Clinical Notes for urologist review

Note: Elevated PSA may require free PSA, ultrasound, or biopsy for diagnosis.
