[QUOTE="CROM, post: 169707, member: 16642"] When I was between 32 and 34 years of age my PSA went from 1.9 to 1.2 to 1.4 to 1.7 then to 5.6 My Urologist knew I had a history of steroids so he did a biopsy. Turned out to be nothing. He put me on high-dose of antibiotics and my PSA went back down to 1.0 where it has remained for 12 years. My theory is that I had a small infection that was incapsulated within the prostate. The doctor did a DRE and it probably spread the bacteria to other parts of the prostate. After the DRE the doctor put me on low dose antibiotics. Since antibiotics don’t penetrate the prostate well, the bacteria probably rebounded with a vengeance after the course was completed. 2 weeks after the low-dose antibiotics I did PSA again and that was when it was 5.6, and did biopsy. After biopsy was negative the doctor did high-dose antibiotics and my PSA went down to 1.0 Sex usually doesn’t elevate most peoples PSA more than 0.1 although anal sex probably make it go up a lot (that was the Urologist words). Statistically you do not have cancer but anything is possible. Most likely prostatitis. Either way, from my understanding infection gone untreated can lead to prostate cancer, so if it were me I’d do antibiotics then retest PSA. [/QUOTE]
