[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 169399, member: 18023"] FWIW: My urologist said he doesn't routinely give antibiotics when there is an elevated PSA with no other syndromes. Your key and really only questions is, what was the reason for your elevated PSA and do you have prostate cancer? How you feel on or off TRT isn't really relevant to that question. If you have cancer, treatment will make you feel even worse. IF you have cancer, clomid, hcg wouldn't be recommended, if you don't have cancer but some other problem then all of those are on the table. Your urologist must have done a DRE, what was that result? Did they give an estimate of prostate size? Size matters, because a larger prostate will naturally produce more PSA. How did they determine your prostate was inflamed? You should get some of these tests, a PSA % free, maybe a 4k test, Select MDX test, MRI, prostate PHI test, urinalysis, prostate biopsy etc. If you have cancer, then reducing your testosterone is likely to reduce at least temporary, your PSA. It doesn't cure cancer, it will still be there. PSA isn't a definitive test, there are several reasons PSA may be elevated. Your experience and labs so far don't indicate what that problem was or is. IF your PSA had gone down even with higher levels of total testosterone, then have would be more indicative of prostatitis . Going down when you quit TRT means you don't really know if it was the T or something else. Another piratical matter, I don't think you will be able to find a doctor that will prescribe TRT if your PSA is above 4.0, especially if you are young. I am sure you can find a semi-legal way around that, but then you are really flying on your own. [/QUOTE]
