[QUOTE="Excel Male, post: 6703, member: 1"] Unless your next PSA is higher than the last one, I would not worry. TRT can increase PSA. "Averaging several investigations of the effect of TRT on PSA, men receiving testosterone will have an associated increase of 0.30 ng/mL/y in serum PSA, with older men experiencing a greater increase of 0.43 ng/mL/y.[URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1472885/#B5"]5[/URL]" From: [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1472885/[/URL] Do you pee frequently or cannot void completely when you pee?

Participate in sexual activity that involves ejaculation for 48 hours before your test. Ejaculation within this time frame may affect PSA results, especially in younger men. Schedule a PSA test if you have a urinary tract infection. A bacterial infection in the urinary tract can cause PSA levels to rise temporarily. If you are not sure if you have a urinary tract infection, have a urine test before your PSA test to make sure.
