Blood Work-PSA Update

Had blood work again seven days after high PSA. New numbers, PSA 4.8 down from 10.4. Taking cipro for fourteen days. My Endo seems to think that the tribulus that I was taking totally abused my prostate and my kidneys. My kidney functions were high for the first time ever. I did not take it for a long period of time due to the feedback that I received from ExcelMale but apparently long enough to cause trouble.
Still have to follow up.
Now for the rest of the story; Total T 633 from 502, Free T 12.33 up from 7.0 Estridiol holding at 20 up from 15. Mass spec blood work.
These results I believe are from switching from IM to sub q for the first time. This was a four week cycle sub q.
Doc does not want me to start back with TRT until I see a Uro but I'm not sure that I can wait that long because it's been seven days already and I'm feeling it.
Anyway I wanted to say thanks for the support from all those who responded to the High PSA post. It always helps to have other opinions when you get a scare like this was.
Will post new results after the antibiotics are done to see where my PSA is at.
Also Nelsons book just arrived in the mail so I'll be absorbed in that until done.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
