PSA Level Too High for TRT

Pharma TRT
1

I’ve been on TRT since Feb 2009. Since my last testosterone cycle in early 2010 my PSA levels have been kind of high (around 1.8 ng/l) for several months now. My doctor doesn’t want to put me back on testosterone unless my PSA levels come down. I’m regularly taking finasteride as well as prostate vitamins. Also, my doctor suggested that high PSA levels may be caused by ejaculation in the week before the PSA test. Is there anything else I could do to lower my PSA levels?

Thanks.

welcome onboard.

I am sorry, but I am confused by these two conflicting statements:

  1. I am on TRT (which is a life long constant process)
    AND
  2. my last cycle (which is normally equated with abnormally high T levels for muscle building)

what are your Estradiol levels?

what other blood tests were run?

what supplements/medications/vitamins are you taking?

How long have you been on each of the above?

how long between your last dose of each and your blood draw?

Have you read through all of the stickies?

Actually this seems kind of low. Please post the lab ranges. PSA is typically measured in ng/ml. I believe anything less than 4 is typically considered normal. What is your age?

Estrogens are a greater risk factor for prostate problems then testosterone levels. Low T does not protect one from prostate cancer, you have to get to castrate levels to have major risk reduction of prostate cancer.

Read the stickies to get up to date on estradiol [E2], aromatase enzyme and aromatase inhibitors [AI].

There is a lot more to TRT than T, read and understand T+hCG+AI

What is your TRT protocol?
