What Causes A Rise In The PSA Level?
I just had my blood work done during my physical exam. My PSA level went from a 0.7 in 2015 to 3.6 now. I am 43 years old. The doctor had me come in for another blood test and I m awaiting the results. Just wondering what maybe causing the rise. I m otherwise healthy and workout 4-5 days a week. Can pre-workout supplements cause rise in PSA?
