My rectal exam was about 1.5 years ago and they said I was good. But does PSA actually go up with age? No, I am not treated for BPH. Is there a chance that it goes up during TRT?
PSA levels does increase with age. The reason they go up as you age is not related to prostate cancer. It's an enlargement of the prostate and as obviously as your prostate gets bigger, your chance of having PSA levels higher as you age increases. So therefore, men that get older typically have higher PSA levels.
Doctors will keep a close eye on your psa during TRT (they should keep a close eye on it under any circumstances). Yours is on the high side. Should it reach 4.0 TRT is typically stopped while further investigations are undertaken.
