[QUOTE="BadassBlues, post: 243224, member: 38526"] Hi Runnerman, About 15 years ago, my PSA test came in at 6. The doctor immediately wanted to do a biopsy. If you have ever researched a prostate biopsy you will know that they are not at all a pleasant experience. I declined, but it sent me into a real panic at the time. I have learned since then that I have naturally high DHT. I am on TRT and tend to convert to DHT over E2. DHT can cause a higher level of PSA. Ejaculation 24 hours prior definitely elevates PSA as well. Also, you could have a mild bacterial infection. A test of 4.8 isn't a serious red flag. Give it a few weeks and have it retested. Labs are a snapshot in time. If it continues to rise, then take the next steps and have it evaluated. [/QUOTE]
