PSA Poll

[jth0524]

Curious as to age related PSA values. I'm 36 and have a PSA of 0.8. If you care to participate, what is your age and PSA?

 

[PAUL-E]

30-32 pre TRT 0.4 after 1 year on TRT 0.52 recently with different lab 0.7

 

[Ty1on73]

42 yo 1.5 ng/ml (0.0-4.0)

 

[ERO]

51 with PSA of 0.8

 

[CoastWatcher]

58 with a PSA of 0.7

I'm starting not to like this poll...

 

[chrismez]

45 psa .09

 

[txmx]

59, psa 2.7

 

[Vince]

61 age, 1.4 ng/mL 0.0 - 4.0
Men 50 years and older, having sex within 72 hours before your PSA will spike your results. I always have sex before my PSA.

LOL that's how I feel when I see someone get total T in the 1000s with 160mg of test a week. I mean good for them but dam 220mg week put me in low 800s with low free T I'm peanut butter and jealous

My understanding is no, but who knows. To be on the safe side, I would avoid it. But I don't.

 

[Weasel]

0.4 at 31yrs.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

57 y.o. PSA 0.4

Nelson,

Do you think my PSA being the same as yours at a younger age is an issue?

 

[jth0524]

Nelson, that is an incredibly low PSA for a 57 year old. What do you attribute that to? Are there healthy things you are actively doing to have such a low score at your age?

 

[PAUL-E]

Isn't how much and how quickly PSA raises more important than the actual number?

 

[CoastWatcher]

Isn't how much and how quickly PSA raises more important than the actual number?

Both variables, the velocity at which it rises and the absolute number, are important. For example, should it top 4.0 ng/dl, the question of continuing on TRT becomes a serious issue. Similarly, a really rapid increase in a short time span may result in a prostate biopsy.

O.K I will play...
66 at +/- 4.5
Jumped there around 2014 then bumped back down to +/- 3.5 for a bit.
Then back to +/- 4.5
Last read on 3/29/16 was 4.4
URO wanted to do a biopsy...OUCH...
Been running about the same for the last 2 years with 2 bouts of prostitis. (sp?)
I was not to keen on the needle thing so my URO is doing a NEW PSA test called the 4K.
Supposed to be highly advanced and can determine if there is cancer and a bunch of other stuff.
My guess is the reason they call it a 4K test is that it will cost me $4,000.00 after my co-pay
My OLD retired URO was not concerned at the +/- 4.5 read.
Waiting for the test results to come back.
NEW URO said LONG turnaround on getting the results back...

It should be noted that more recent data shows that PSA levels are not a good indicator of prostate cancer risk as was once believed.
