I noticed that it seems to take up to a week for most people to get there PSA results I am in Thailand and have twice had to get PSA test and on both times I only had to wait about 1 hour to get the results second and I cannot understand why it should be done so quick here

I have always gotten the results within the hour of giving up the blood sample.

The result takes only one hour. The delay is from the doctor. He or she would want to see you when they give the result. My doctor wants me to take my PSA few days before my appointment.

Same here, in my case, just as well wait till I sit down with my doctor, I was use to hurry up and wait in the military.

I understand now only in Thailand we always go straight to the hospital to see a doctor and you get an appointment after your last visit and it is all done in the one visit bloods taken sit and wait for 1 hour and then see the doctor

Greetings, Colin. My doc says anyone who has had prostate cancer should not have to wait for PSA results. I go in, they draw my blood and 20 minutes later I get the results. David
