[QUOTE="AbsoluteZ3R0, post: 63351, member: 15174"] I'm 27 with low T (seems to be idiopathic, my best hypothesis is that it's due to naturally very low cholesterol). I recently did some blood-work for my first consultation with Defy Medical after a disappointing experience several months ago with an endocrinologist (ran Clomid for 2 months, felt worse than ever even when my testosterone increased to ~1000). As expected, my T was low at 308ng/dL, but more concerning was my PSA of 1.5ng/mL. At first I thought it was "in range," but after doing more research I realized that someone my age should have a PSA of less than 1. The endo tested my PSA back in October, but he never showed me the results or brought it up, so I had always assumed it was healthy. I went by the office to pick up my old results from October 2016, and my PSA was basically the same (1.6). I'm assuming this means I probably don't have cancer since it hasn't increased at all in the past 5 months, but I don't have any symptoms of prostatis or BPH either. I've been feeling like total garbage from the low T, and was looking forward to starting treatment asap. Would I need urological clearance before starting TRT with a PSA of 1.5, or is this still low enough to start? I realize that either way, it would need to be very carefully monitored throughout the course of treatment. This whole situation is causing me a great deal of anxiety. [/QUOTE]
