What this test screens for
Understanding the PSA Prostate
The PSA Prostate Test measures prostate-specific antigen, a protein made by the prostate gland that circulates in small amounts in the blood. PSA is one of the most widely used markers for monitoring prostate health in men, and it gives you and your provider a concrete number to track over time rather than a single snapshot. At our Ashburn location in Goose Creek Village, you can request this $49 blood test on your own schedule, with the doctor’s order already included so you don’t need a separate referral.
Many men begin watching their PSA around age 50, or closer to 45 if they have a family history of prostate concerns or other risk factors. It’s important to understand what an elevated reading does and doesn’t mean: PSA can rise for many ordinary reasons, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate), recent ejaculation, a urinary tract infection, vigorous cycling, or a recent prostate exam. An elevated PSA is not a cancer diagnosis. It’s a signal that your provider may want to look more closely, repeat the test, or compare it against earlier results.
Because a trend often tells you more than any one value, this test works well as part of a routine wellness rhythm, and it can be bundled with other markers in a broader wellness panel if you want a fuller picture. Whatever the result, you’ll receive a clear lab report you can share with your physician to guide the next conversation.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting is required for a PSA test, so you can come in any time during open hours. For the most reliable reading, it helps to avoid ejaculation and vigorous cycling for about 48 hours beforehand, and to wait a few weeks after any urinary tract infection or recent prostate exam, since each of these can temporarily raise PSA. Bring a photo ID, and if you’re tracking results over time, note the date of your last test so you can compare. If you’re unsure about timing, give us a call and we’ll help you plan the visit.
During your visit
Your visit is quick and straightforward. After a brief check-in at our Goose Creek Village location, a trained technician will draw a single small blood sample from a vein in your arm, which usually takes only a minute or two. Most people are in and out in about 10 to 15 minutes. There’s no appointment strictly required for most tests, though booking ahead helps us greet you faster. You can return to your normal day right afterward, including work and driving.
Getting your results
Results are typically ready in 24 to 72 hours and are posted to your secure online patient portal, where you can view and download them privately. If you’d like, we can fax your report directly to your doctor’s office so it’s waiting for your next appointment. Because PSA can be elevated for many non-cancerous reasons, any abnormal or rising result should be reviewed by a licensed provider, who can interpret it alongside your history and decide whether further evaluation makes sense.

FAQ
PSA Prostate Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the psa prostate test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
Does an elevated PSA mean I have prostate cancer?
No. A higher-than-expected PSA can result from an enlarged prostate, a recent infection, recent ejaculation, vigorous cycling, or a recent exam. It simply tells your provider to look more closely, often by repeating the test or comparing it to earlier results.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to get a PSA test in Ashburn?
No referral is needed. The required physician’s order is included with the $49 test, so you can walk into our Goose Creek Village location and request it directly, then share the report with your own provider afterward.
How often should I check my PSA?
That depends on your age, risk factors, and your provider’s guidance. Many men test periodically to watch the trend over time. Because PSA patterns matter more than any single number, repeating the test on a consistent schedule is useful for monitoring.
