[QUOTE="DrRotman, post: 77461, member: 13244"] Thank you for the kind words! Many issues here so I will take them 1 at a time . 1. Sexual activity 24-48 hours before a PSA test is generally discouraged as there is some that believe it can effect the results negatively. 2. Caffeine is not known to effect PSA results unless it triggered a prostatitis like syndrome resulting in inflammation in the prostate. 3. PSA test results can sometimes vary depending on the assay a particular laboratory uses. Make sure the lab used for analysis , uses the same assay or make sure the same lab is used for comparative purposes. 4. Testosterone does cause 0.3-0.4 elevation in PSA among your average patient so that has to be taken into account. 5. A level of 3 below the age of 60 is abnormally high but other factors including family history are important as well. 6. If PSA remains elevated inquire about a 4K test from your urologist. [/QUOTE]
