Urgent* PSA Higher After coming off TRT!

[Robotics]

I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so urgent replies requested!

My PSA rose to just above the range and was at 2.6 (max was 2.5). My doctor wanted to take me off TRT and see how it would react. I came off TRT and now it is at 3.0 months later. I do feel discomfort and pressure in the perineum and I have been eating a lot of fiber recently and using the toilet probably about 4-5 times a day (#2). I am not sure if that aggravated things.

I want to get back on TRT as I feel horrible. What should i be pushing for? a run of antibiotics (which one is the most effective and for how long?). A prostate infection test?

Could be extra pressure on the prostate from toilet use, so maybe cut back if possible. Also make sure you don't ejaculate or exercise (like bike riding) for 48-72 hours before PSA test. Retest.

Lowered PSA, 2.99 to 0.92, in Three Months

As noted in other posts, my PSA leaped dramatically in a little over a year, 1.00 to 2.99. Though still below the magic number of 4.00, the velocity puzzled me and alarmed my doctors. My urologist in Toronto was using words and phrases like “biopsy,” and “suspending your TRT protocol for a...

My PSA been going up from 0,6 to 5,7 in one year. Went to urologist and after examintion he said my prostate was small but has an infection. 20 days on antibiotics one more week to go.
Also prescribed me Forprost 400 flogo ( must be italian natural anti inflamatory stuff) for 30 days. He didn´t take me off Testosteron!
He told me that I should have come earlier but since I didn´t have any discomfort I wasn´t worried. Stupid do not do the same! Because the risk is that the PSA even after treatment might not go back to base level under 1 it can become another higher basline. A bit worried but that´s my story.

I had prostatitis when I was young from an infection within my prostate. Doctor put me on antibiotics and it took 2 years of that to clear up. Just FYI, the prostate has minimal direct blood flow so getting the antibiotic into the prostate is extremely hard. Hope it works for you. I battled it for years to the detriment of my microbiome.

Ive had prostate inflammation issues for 8 years. Drinking wine makes it much worse, i start peeing every 45 minutes amd wake up 3 times per night.
My psa is always .06 though. Once it went to .07 but thats not really a difference.
