[QUOTE="aneuman, post: 269956, member: 43264"] I have BPH. 1 month after starting TRT (TCyp. 100 mg/wk) my PSA jump from 2.6 to 3.14, 3 months later it was 4.05. Went to the Urologist and the NP told me "you have to stop TRT", I told her that TRT was not for fun, that it was a medication I took for a reason and the decision to stop it should be taken that lightly, as there other problems associated with stoping it. She told me "talk to the doctor" and went out of the exam room. Doctor came in the office and said, "don't stop. Let's do a course of CIPRO, 500 mg 2 x day (a heavy dose) for 15 days". He advised me not do do exercise or have sex 48 hours prior to the next test. When I repeated the test PSA was 2.89. In her defense, he told me: "If this was a urology exam, her answer is correct, that's the standard protocol, but you're probably not the case, and I also have people with PCa on Testosterone, let's do this first, if PSA doesn't go down, then we need to look more into it and it may be possible that you have to stop, but let's wait until we get there." Just an anecdote, but it shows the similarities and course taken, FWIW. [/QUOTE]
